Dissertation Survey Participant Needed

Dear Potential Participant,

As a doctoral candidate in the Counselor Education and Supervision Program at Liberty University, I am conducting research as part of the requirement for a doctoral degree and to better understand the experiences master’s students have at their practicum and internship sites. The purpose of my research is to gather descriptive information and examine the experiences of master’s level counseling students at their practicum and internship sites, and I am writing to invite you to join my study.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older, either currently enrolled in or having recently graduated from a currently CACREP-accredited Counseling Program, and have fully completed the practicum class requirements. Participants will be asked to take an anonymous, online survey. It should take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete the procedure listed. Participation will be completely anonymous, and no personal, identifying information will be collected.

To participate, please click here complete the survey.

A consent document is provided as the first page of the survey. The consent document contains additional information about my research. Because participation is anonymous, you do not need to sign and return the consent document unless you would prefer to do so. After you have read the consent form, please proceed to the survey. Doing so will indicate that you have read the consent information and would like to take part in the study.

Participants will have the option to be entered in a raffle at the completion of the survey to receive one of three $20 Amazon gift cards.

 

Sincerely,
