Get Involved

We are so grateful for your continued engagement with APrON! Your support and ongoing participation is vital in shaping our research and advancing important discoveries that benefit families like yours. 

Your Participation Matters

APrON is currently conducting our 15-year follow-up and looking to connect with our participants. If you’re interested in reconnecting or getting involved in the study, we’d love to hear from you — find out how!

To show our appreciation and support your involvement, we’ve created exciting incentives for participants:  

  • $25 for each mom and $25 for each youth who completes the 15-year follow-up survey—every contribution counts!  
  • $50 for providing a DNA sample for the 15-year follow-up to help us uncover how gene expression is influenced by mental health. 
  • An additional $25 to be received for updating their address alongside completing the survey
  • Another $25 for joining the participant or youth advisory committee, completing a feedback survey (coming soon!), or joining a participant spotlight activity, like being interviewed and featured in our social media

Plus, don’t miss out on our social media campaign: Follow us on social media and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win an iPad!  Want an extra entry? Share our upcoming giveaway post and comment “DONE” once you’ve shared it!

Help APrON Reconnect and Make a Difference

Every participant’s involvement and unique contributions and continued participation means the world to us, not to mention plays a critical role in keeping the APrON study’s research thriving and impactful. We’ve created a toolkit of posters that you can choose from to help us reconnect with valued participants by posting on social media, or even printing out to post in your neighbourhoods.

To ensure we can continue making groundbreaking discoveries with a strong cohort, we need your help. By sharing these posters, you’re helping APrON bridge the gaps and better reach out in order to make sure every voice remains part of the story. Together, we can make a lasting difference – not just for the study, but for all the families this research strives to support!

We want to hear from you!

Help us stay connected! Update your contact information, join our youth or participant advisory committee, or let us know if you’d like to be featured on our social media. Questions? We’re here to help!
