Subject: Research Study on Counseling LGB Clients: Call For Graduate Student Participants

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please forward this e-mail to anyone who is a doctoral or master’s level graduate student in counseling psychology, counselor education, community counseling, clinical mental health counseling, school counseling, rehabilitation counseling, or career counseling. Again thank you kindly for your assistance. 

Dear Colleague: 

My name is Michael O’Heron. I am a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services at Ball State University. I am currently collecting data for my dissertation study, which is supervised by Dr. Stefania Aegisdottir. 

The purpose of this study is to understand graduate level counseling students’ thoughts about counseling lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients.  

You are eligible to participate in this study because you are either a doctoral or master’s level graduate student majoring in counseling psychology, counselor education, community counseling, school counseling, clinical mental health counseling, rehabilitation counseling, or career counseling.

Your participation involves completing a set of questionnaires that will be accessed on a web based survey (See link below). Participation in this study will take about 25 to 35 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous and you will not be asked for your name in any part of the survey. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you are free to discontinue your participation at any time, without prejudice from the researcher, by exiting the survey website. Discontinuing participation in the survey will result in automatic deletion of any items you may have responded to prior to your decision to discontinue.  

If you are interested, you may enter a drawing for a chance to win one of four Amazon.com® gift cards in the amount of $25, $50, $75, and $100, respectively. Winners will be selected randomly. In order to enter the drawing, you will be asked to send an e-mail message with your name and email address to an address that will be provided to you at the end of the survey. These emails will be stored separately and will not be connected with your survey responses. Please note that you must complete the entire survey to be considered for the gift card drawing.

This study has been approved by the BSU Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions about the study, please contact the principal investigator, Michael O’Heron by email at mpoheron at bsu.edu, or by phone at (765) 285-8040. You may also contact my faculty sponsor, Dr. Stefania Aegisdottir, by email at stefaegis at bsu.edu or by phone at (765) 285-8040. 

Again thank you for your interest in this study. Your responses are greatly appreciated.
