Using web conferencing to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in research: a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The benefits that these technologies offer researchers for engaging with hard-to-reach populations are beginning to be recognised, however, the acceptability and feasibility of using web conferencing technology to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in research is unknown.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate whether the use of web conferencing to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in research is an acceptable and feasible alternative to conventional face-to-face methods.

Methods

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people aged between 18 an
