style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am developing a proposal for a
grant that includes interviews with caseworkers. The interviews are expected
to last 60-90 minutes and includes both the completion of a brief instrument
regarding constructs like characteristics of parents in their current caseload
and demographics, as well as some open ended questions about their perceptions
of barriers to and facilitators of parents engagement in parent training
interventions in child welfare. I am partnering closely with the local child
welfare agency and my institution has a fairly successful history of executing
research with them. It is not allowable by policy to provide caseworkers with
any type of money, gift, or other traditional incentives. Can anyone advise me
as to other methods or procedures that might “incentivize” this group or
support their participation in some other way? I am particularly concerned
about the competing demands placed on these workers as they will participate
in the research during normal working hours.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
