Random Selection: Due to high demand, we cannot accommodate all applicants. To ensure fairness, participants will be randomly selected for the training group or the waiting list.
Neither you nor CCA will have control over which group you are assigned to. It's a bit like a coin toss, with an equal chance of being placed in either group.
Participants in the training group will receive the IHSS LA CARE training and will be compensated with an hourly wage of $18.00 for 30 hours, as well as a $1,000 stipend upon successful course completion.
The waiting list compensation is $75.
To enter the lottery and have a chance to take the IHSS LA CARE course, you must agree to provide consent below.
If you choose to enter the lottery, you will not be able to take other CCA training programs, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) and Emergency Preparedness/Climate Resiliency Teams (CRT) in Los Angeles County for the next two years. This restriction applies even if you are on the waiting list for Caregiving Essentials.
Data Sharing and Confidentiality: CCA may share information about your application, your performance during training, and related data with researchers working with CCA. Researchers may also use information on this application to access official records, such as wage reports, unemployment insurance records, IHSS program records, tax records, and healthcare records. Government agencies already collect this information. Taking part in the study means that researchers are able to use the information for research purposes. The research team will follow strict rules to protect your privacy. Any information you provide is confidential. Findings from research may be published in scientific journals, meetings, or public data sets. However, no one will be able to identify individuals in any of these publications.
Consent: Participation in this study is voluntary. If you decide to withdraw from the evaluation, you may also be able to remove your data from the evaluation. If you choose to leave, or have any questions or concerns about the study, please contact ihss.study@povertyactionlab.org.
