Hi Everyone! I'm new to the forum and have been living with my own hearing impairment my whole life. I am currently finishing up my doctorate in clinical psychology, but need some help completing my doctoral project. If you are interested in helping out (which would be fantastic), continue reading. As suggested below, you can contact me at my school emailing address OR you can reply here. Thanks!
Dear Participant,
My name is Renée Lajoie and I am a doctoral student in the clinical psychology program at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. I am currently conducting a research study that explores the impact of verbal and non-verbal messages on an individual living with a hearing impairment. This research is a requirement of the doctoral program at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. I am looking for participants to complete a brief survey and take part in an interview.
The completion of the survey and interview will take approximately one hour. The interview will be recorded and participants can stop at any time. When the results are shared, any identifying information would be changed to maintain confidentiality.
To meet criterion for inclusion in this research, participants must be adults who:
• Have been living with a hearing impairment that they:
-Were born with, or
-Acquired before the age of 4
• Are between 18 – 65 years of age
• Uses spoken English as a primary form of communication
If you are interested, please contact me at renee_lajoie@mspp.edu. I would be happy to discuss this project with you further and answer any questions you may have. Additionally, if you know of an individual who meets the requirements to be a participant in this research this project, please inform them of this opportunity.
**NOTE** Interviews are able to be conducting via phone or face-to-face internet chat. If you are local to my area, interviews may be conducted face-to-face.
Thank you for your consideration.
