_____ From: Burns, Shaun M. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 8:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] Request for Participants for a Research Study My name is Shaun Burns, Ph.D. and I am working with James Mahalik, Ph.D., Sigmund Hough, Ph.D., ABPP/rp, and Sunil Sabharwal, M.D. researching issues that affect the health and adjustment of men living with spinal cord injuries. I am writing the listserv to ask for men living with spinal cord injuries to participate in an online research study. I would like to learn something about the factors influencing the adjustment and health of men living with spinal cord injuries. I am asking all men on this listserv living with a spinal cord injury to participate in this study. In the study, you will not be asked to give any identifying information; your participation is entirely anonymous. You will not be contacted in any way following your participation in the survey. You will not be asked to buy anything or to sign up for any membership. You are only being asked to complete the on-line survey and nothing else. If you decide to take part, you will be asked to complete some questions about your adjustment, support available to you, your attitudes about men and masculinity, your physical well-being, and your sexual activity/interest. The survey takes approximately 20-25 minutes to complete. If you agree to participate, I ask that you complete all questionnaire materials, though you may quit and end your participation at any time. The survey can be completed online at: <https://www.psychdata.com/s.asp?SID=123822> https://www.psychdata.com/s.asp?SID=123822 There will be no cost to you for participating in this study. Although there is no direct benefit to you for participating, I hope that the knowledge you provide during this project may help improve the treatment and education of men living with spinal cord injuries in the future. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have any questions about the study. In closing, thank you for your willingness to consider participating in this survey. I believe that answering these types of questions can give men living with spinal cord injuries a voice in issues affecting their quality of life. Please feel free to share the web-site address of the survey with other men who you think would be willing to help us better understand the health and adjustment of men living with spinal cord injuries.
