We are looking for students research aimed at advancing our understanding of dual diagnosis practices among counselors-in-training. Below are the following information: the study purpose, eligibility criteria for student participants, and additional information related to the study:
We are seeking counselors-in-training to complete a short online survey focused on understanding their attitudes toward clients who have dual diagnoses of substance use disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder. Participants will first watch a brief video describing a case, then respond to several validated measures related to counselors’ attitudes. Students are eligible to participate in the study if they:
a.) are enrolled in a CACREP-accredited master’s program (part- or full-time), and
b.) are enrolled in OR have completed at least one semester of practicum or internship.
We anticipate that participation, including viewing the video, will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. To compensate participants for their time, everyone who completes the survey will have the opportunity to provide an email address in a separate linked survey to receive a $15 Amazon gift card. This email address will not be stored with any data, and no identifiable personal information will be collected.
We have attached a recruitment flyer to this email that can be shared directly with your students if you are willing to share information about this research study with students in your program. We are happy to answer any questions you or your students may have. Students can also access the study at the following link: https://utk.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_38bUOVu4Z4O23uS
