1. AOTI research protocol on accessing members’ databaseAOTI has a formal procedure governing how researchers access the AOTI database for research purposes. This is now available as a down load from this page. In order to facilitate research in occupational therapy in Ireland we encourage you, as a member of AOTI, to log in and edit your membership details and tick the box which states that you are willing to participate in research. This will enable the AOTI office to send you an email inviting you to participate in research. Your email is NEVER given directly to a researcher. For those members who have already agreed to be involved in research many thanks. If you have any questions please contact the AOTI office at aoti@eircom.net or info@aoti.ie or +353 1 6337222
2. Accessing the AOTI database for researchAOTI as an organisation supports research and if the procedure outlined is followed, research details will be forwarded to the members of AOTI on the database who have expressed an interest in participating in research.
