Research Study Description

The Self, Health, and Identity Culture Lab at Boston College is inviting you to participate in a research study on healthcare experiences of Black autistic adults in the United States. We are particularly interested in including individuals who meet the following criteria:
● Identify as autistic/person with autism/have an autism diagnosis (self-diagnosis is accepted)
● Lives in the US
● An adult between ages of 18-65
● Has had at least one medical encounter with a doctor/physician in the last 5 years

The study takes less than 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete. The study involves an hour long Zoom (virtual video) interview. Eligible participants who fully complete the study will receive compensation via a gift card of their choice.
To participate, take our pre-screener survey to determine your eligibility for the study.
The eligibility screener should take less than 20 minutes to complete.

Eligible participants will be contacted via email to schedule a time to do the Zoom interview and answer additional questions. Email Tobi Abubakare at [email protected] if you have any questions.
