Our different research approaches
1
Co-Design
We build this project side by side with donor-conceived individuals. Your lived experiences and perspectives help us shape key topics and frame research questions, ensuring our study is ethical, relevant, and grounded in what matters most to the community.
2
Qualitative Research
We want to understand the human stories behind the data. Through in-depth interviews and one-on-one conversations, we explore feelings, identity, and lived experiences within a safe and confidential environment.
3
Quantitative Research
To see the broader picture, we gather insights from a wider group of participants through surveys. This stage allows us to identify common patterns, bringing visibility and collective strength to the community's voice for decision-makers and healthcare professionals.
