Are you a young construction worker?

May 2024: The Young Construction Workers Study is looking for young workers in the British Columbia (BC) construction industry to complete a confidential online survey about their current job or trade, working conditions that could contribute to musculoskeletal symptoms, and how these affect their well-being. Individuals who consent will be entered into a draw to win one of fourteen $100 Amazon gift cards as a thank you for participating in this study.

We are recruiting participants who:

Are between the ages of 16 and 30 years
Are currently employed in the construction industry in BC, and have been for at least one month at the time of completing the survey
Have never been diagnosed with any type of work-related musculoskeletal injury by a medical doctor, physician or healthcare provider.

If you are interested in sharing your experiences, you can access the survey here. If you would like to learn more about the project, please contact Chizitara Nkwopara at ycws.research@ubc.ca or 604-822-1228.

If you need mental health support, find resources here. Learn more about the study: Working conditions and mental health of young construction workers.
