Before you register

Before the interview, we will tell you more about what it means to be part of our study. We would like you to read this information letter now: Link to information letterWhy do we want to do this study?
There is very little knowledge about the health of children who have been on the move and how they are feel after arriving in their new country. We hope to gain more knowledge that can help children and youth on the move in the future.
Consideration
Children and youth who are interviewed by us do not get any personal benefits. The main purpose of this project is to contribute to increased knowledge about health in children and young people on the move. The researchers conducting this project have all a lot of experience working with children and youth in different life situations. Therefore, we are prepared to meet you on your own terms. If it turns out that you may need more support after the interview, we can provide some advice and appropriate information including contact details for further help and support.
Compensation
The participants in this study on young people (18-25 years old) will receive a compensation of 300 SEK (svenska kronor).
Is there anyone who is not suitable?
No, we would like to meet children and youth on the move with all possible experiences and backgrounds. But since the interview is about your personal experiences it is important that you feel comfortable talking about it with us.
