Dear Keith, Although I agree with what you are saying I also feel that
paying participants is not the only way that you can convey that you value a
persons help with research. Inclusion in the research and it's outcome as
well as respect and open communication can go a long way. Sarah.

Subject: Re: advice and payment for time....
Most up to date text books cost allot of money, most researchers buy some of
them when the information is essential to the research, even though they
sigh, as the give the money over at the bookshops cash desk.
Many researchers of people with impairments do not value their victims
(subjects) information highly enough. Disabled people knowledge and time is
not valued. If it paid for at a reasonable rate) the subject is more likely
to feel valued and be prepared to give more thoughtful responses. Remember
if you pay peanuts or less you get ...............
Its not like breathing it is paying for the knowledge of experience which
cannot be obtained in those expensive books.
Trying telling them at the supermarket, that you give your free time to some
social work researcher, so they should give you cheaper food.
Disabled people live in poverty. It is about time that changed. It is
about time our community was valued.
