WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO AS A PARTICIPANT?
So as to avoid overburdening you as a participant, the assessments will be conducted in two parts: PART 1: We will do a home visit to administer a questionnaire conducted by two official researchers (they will have a University of Malaya name tags and a letter from the police confirming their identity). This interview will take less than two hours. PART 2: The health assessment will be done at the University of Malaya Medical Centre, where transport will be provided to pick you up and send you back home once the medical tests are done. Please free yourself from 8am to 1pm for this session. All information collected will be used productively, efficiently and confidentially for the purpose of the project only. |
