Show, by your actions, that you choose peace over war, freedom over
oppression, voice over silence, service over self-interest, respect over
advantage, cooperation over competition, action over passivity, diversity
over uniformity, and justice over all.

enrolled your graduate program. Thanks for your assistance. 

 

Hi

 

Doctoral students in counselor education programs are expected to perform in
a variety of roles, yet there is almost no research that investigates how
they experience these multiple roles.  Dr. Barbara Herlihy and I are
conducting a research study on Doctoral Students and Multiple Roles.  This
study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University
of New Orleans.  

 

Your participation will involve completing an electronic survey entitled the
Doctoral Students and Multiple Roles Survey (DSMRS).  The DSMRS will take
approximately 15 to 20 minutes. In the survey we ask you to (1) provide some
demographic information and (2) indicate the extent to which you understand
and feel confident about your ability to perform various roles.  You may be
asked to complete this survey again in future years as you progress through
your doctoral journey.  For this reason, we ask you to provide the last 4
numbers of your university ID number, for tracking purposes only.  We will
make no attempt to match the numbers with your names or to identify you in
any other way.  We suggest that you delete your temporary internet files and
close the browser after submitting the survey.  In agreeing to participate
in this study, you understand that:

 

a)       There are no known physical or psychological risks associated with
participation in this study.

b)       All data will be kept strictly confidential and no data on
individual participants or universities will be reported at any time. 

c)       All documentation related to this study will be stored in a locked
file cabinet in a locked office.

d)       Three years after completion of the research project, all records
will be destroyed.

e)       Participation in this study is voluntary.

f)        Refusal or withdrawal will not result in a penalty or loss of
benefits of any kind. 

g)       Your consent can be withdrawn at any time without consequence.

h)       You have a right to refuse to participate or discontinue your
participation at any time.

 

As in most internet communication, there may be some record of exchange in
your cache somewhere on your computer system or internet service provider's
log file.  As a precaution, we suggest that you clean out your temporary
internet files and close your browser after submitting your survey. If you
are willing to assist us with this important part of our study, please click

about this research, your rights as a human subject, and your concerns
regarding a research-related injury.  If you have any questions concerning
the research study, please contact me at  <mailto:bherlihy at uno.edu>
