</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">I am contacting you to participate in a dissertation pilot study of counselor education students regarding eating disorders counseling competency. </span></div>
<div><br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">The purpose of this study is to understand eating disorder counseling skills, knowledge, and attitudinal awareness to further assess current counselor training and predictors of competence
to address these concerns in a counseling or school setting. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">Participation would involve completion of a short demographic survey and a questionnaire addressing eating disorders training and exposure within and outside of the practicum/internship
experience. Participation in this survey is estimated to take less than 10 minutes of your time.
</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">You must meet all criteria to participate in the study. Criteria for participation includes:
</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
</span></li><li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">Participants must be enrolled in a master’s or doctoral level counselor education program.
</span></li></ul>
</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">There are no direct benefits to you as a result of your participation; however, your participation may contribute to greater understanding of counselor trainee competence in addressing
eating disorders and body image with their clients or students. You may withdraw or decline without penalty at any time.
</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">This research has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB# 20-E-159) at Ohio University. </span></div>
