\r\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2024-25 we are inviting all of our Generation 1 and Generation 2 participants to complete a new survey. Our Gen3 survey \u201cLife@9\u201d is also running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

\r\n \r\n <\/i>  I\u2019m a participant, what do I do?<\/a>\r\n <\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there is a survey for you to complete, one of our team will explain exactly what is needed. We will give you an \u2018Information Form\u2019 that explains what the research is about, what to expect and how to take part. We usually reach out via email but also phone our participants regularly and sometimes send post. Most of the surveys from the ATP are now completed online. When a survey is sent to you, you can click the link to answer the questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

\r\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only the original cohort and their families can participate in ATP. This means that unfortunately, we can\u2019t recruit any new participants.<\/p>\n

If you have been a participant with us before and would like to take part again, please contact us on (03) 9345 4129 or atp.nextgen@rch.org.au<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n
