Do women want to to play sport? Participation & Non Participation Study: Sport for females with disabilities

The University of Technology Sydney and the Australian Paralympic Committee are conducting a study to find out why females with disabilities participate, or do not participate, in sport. We are as interested in the reasons for non participation and the constraints to participation that females with disabilities face.

This research will involve participating in an interview, either in person, over the phone or through instant messaging on the internet. Each interview will run for a maximum of 1 hour.

If you are interested in participating in this study you will need to be available for an interview before Friday 5th March 2010.

In appreciation for participating in this research, all participants will receive a small gift from the Australian Paralympic Committee
