Our NextGen Parent Advisory Group (PAG)

“It's important to be part of the parent advisory because it’s a disease that affects Indigenous people and I want to be part of helping my community as an Indigenous woman. My kids are Indigenous. I want to help find ways to get this information out there, to tell the Indigenous communities and Indigenous moms that, you know, there’s help, there’s support, there’s education, there’s people that will help you. You can get tested, you can still eat all the yummy foods that you want to eat, there’s just a different way to do it.”

Who we are and what we do

Our advisory group is made up of parents who have children in the study and other community members who support families. We work with the research team throughout all aspects of the study, from asking the right questions to sharing what we learn in the research project.

The PAG meets every few months to give their feedback and ideas to the Next Gen research team about what to study next and how to study it in a good way. Members of our PAG get compensation ($$) for their time. You don't need to know about research to join. Your lived experience helps research.
