Participate in Research at IALH
The Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health (IALH) at the University of Victoria is a multidisciplinary research centre established to promote and conduct basic and applied research that is relevant to advancing lifelong health for all. Much of their work is rooted in a broad orientation to health that includes attention to the social, psychological, environmental, and cultural contexts in which people live, as well as the institutions responsible for the health of our population. They recognize aging is a life-long process requiring attention to developmental influences and changes that occur across the life course; and, within this general framework, they focus on the longitudinal and cross-sectional study of clinical, population health and well-being, and health services.

Dr. Kennedy and Graduate Student Sophia Mastrangelo are seeking individuals to participate in a pain science study investigating individuals’ perceived pain, and perceived damage experiences under different conditions. Specifically, how painful sensations can increase or decrease using topical creams. The goal of this study is to contribute to the field of pain study by furthering their understanding of what controls the pain experience and how it can be managed.
- Online: Participants will be asked to complete online components via RedCap (a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases). This will include a consent form, a demographics survey and COPI-A questionnaire (A questionnaire on concept of pain).
- In-person: In this session the researcher will apply topical creams to see how they impact pain in the individual.
- Debrief: After data collection is concluded, participants will be provided with information about the full breadth of the study, including particpation impact.
