My name is Abbey Orchard and I am a Psychology Honours student at Southern Cross University under the supervision of Dr Emily Hindman, Dr Kylie Radford and Professor Peter Hassmen. We are inviting health professionals working within Australia to participate in an online research study. The research aims to: · Document the current practices of clinicians conducting assessments with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients or patients, to understand 'best practice' in this area. · Identify current gaps and barriers to effective and ethical cognitive assessment and care in this population to stimulate and guide future research. If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to complete an online survey that will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You will be asked questions about your experience conducting cognitive assessment with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients or patients. You do not need to have extensive experience working with this population to participate in this study. You will also be asked to complete questions about your background and experiences.

This survey has ethics approvalSeeking families for a study on attention and childhood brain injury Researchers at Monash University and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) are interested in understanding whether a game-based attention training program can strengthen attention in children who have experienced an acquired brain injury (ABI). The term ABI describes any type of brain injury that happens after birth, and includes damage due to infection, tumours, stroke, lack of oxygen or trauma. Attention difficulties are a common feature of ABI and can have far-reaching consequences for learning, social relationships, and behaviour in childhood. They are looking for children aged 4 - 9 years who have experienced an ABI to take part. Children will complete a training program at home over 5 weeks, as well as attending sessions at MCRI to measure changes in attention, memory, social and academic skills. Want to find out more? Please contact the research team on 03 9905 3255 or tali.train2@monash.edu, or visit the MCRI website. This study has ethics approval |
