Volunteer to be a Participant in a Student Research Study

Well-Being of Mothers of Children with Autism in Malaysia

Hello, I am an Honours student at Monash University, Sunway Campus conducting a research project for my thesis. I am looking to interview mothers with a child with autism, in hopes of exploring their experiences of raising a child with autism in Malaysia.  The interviews will also explore the challenges faced and what has helped support mothers. Participation will include the mother completing a brief demographic questionnaire and a 60-90 minutes interview with the mother that will be audio-recorded with prior approval from the participant.  Participation is fully voluntary.

**You will receive a RM30 book voucher in appreciation of your time **

Requirements for Participation -- Mothers with a child diagnosed with autism by a mental health professional; Fluent in the English language; Mothers who have lived in Malaysia for the majority of their lives and are raising their child with autism in Malaysia
