Real men (care): Examination of Perceptions of Informal Care among male caregivers (RMC)

What is this Study about?

This study explores men’s thoughts and beliefs about unpaid caregiving for older adults in Canada in a 25-minute online survey. The findings will improve our understanding of men in Canadian society. This will help us to improve support and education opportunities for individuals with family members with long-term care needs.

What Will Happen in This Study?

In this 25-minute online Qualtrics survey, participants will be asked to answer questions about their thoughts and beliefs about unpaid caregiving for older adults, their familiarity with caregiving, their health and wellbeing, and will be asked to provide information about themselves (e.g., age, gender, education). By providing an email address, participants can enter into a draw to win 1 of 5 $50 gift cards. Internet access is required to participate. Link to survey:
