Do you want to be part of our study?

To understand how the Covid-19 crisis is impacting independent workers, we are conducting a diary study.

To understand independent workers’ life changes, we are conducting a diary study.

This study will have three parts: 

  • A short onboarding interview via Zoom (~15 minutes)

  • Seven daily prompts requesting you to create some type of diary entry (e.g., a picture, a text, a brief video)

  • An exit interview asking for your reflections (~1 hour).

We seek participants who are:

  • 18 years of age or older

  • An independent worker, or recently shifted into a formal organization from independent work 

  • Made a major life change in the past 12 months. Example changes:

    • Different way to take on clients 

    • A physical move

    • Changing work hours 

    • Changing services

    • Different client type 

    • Different forms of work 

    • Childcare change

    • Major career change 

    • Move back into organization from independent work 

We will pay eligible workers a $100 gift card for their participation. If you’re interested, please sign up below or email us at creatingworklife@gmail.com
