You are invited to participate in a research study about participation in international One Health events and barriers to inclusion and diversity. The research is being conducted by Queensland University of Technology, Australia (QUT).
The aim of this project is to understand the main barriers that women and other under-represented groups face, in their participation in international One Health (OH) events. An international OH event is any event that brings together OH experts from different countries, and includes conferences, colloquiums, meetings and workshops. Understanding the importance of such barriers in the context of global and OH event participation and the strategies implemented to facilitate attendance is an intentional first step towards establishing OH ‘event equity’.
Participation will involve a survey of 10 multiple-choice and 2 open-ended questions that focus on your participation, or barriers to participation, in OH events. It should take approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey. The survey is available in multiple languages.
The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Queensland University of Technology Human Research Ethics Committee, and the information you provide will be stored under the QUT protocols, ensuring confidentiality.
You can find more information about the research project, the survey and potential risks on the Participant Information Sheet on the first page of the online survey. You can view the Participant Information Sheet before deciding whether to consent to participate in the survey.
