Opiate users needed to participate in internet-based survey on stress and coping

[sbowle1]

Hi, I am an undergraduate student at Towson University in Baltimore, MD, USA. As part of my senior thesis, I am conducting a research study on the types of stressful life events experienced by users of heroin or other opiate-type drugs and the ways in which they cope with this stress-- for example techniques used to handle or decrease stressful situations. If you use heroin or any other type of opiate drug, and are at least 18 years of age, you qualify to participate in this study. There are no other inclusion or exclusion criteria. All you have to do is follow this link
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...dy1vi3cQ_3d_3d and complete a short online survey. All your responses will be completely anonymous. You will not be asked any for identifying information. There is no monetary compensation for your participation. This study has been approved by Towson University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB). This research is being conducted from November 2007 through February 2008. If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me (Sarah) at sbowle1@towson.edu or my faculty advisor, Dr. Thomas Kruggel, at tkruggel@towson.edu. Thank you so much for your time and participation!

This is a approved study by the Townson university. Sarah has sent me extensive details on her research. I urge you all to take a moment to do this questioneer, as this will likely be a very interesting paper once published.

Sarah; will you publish your paper here, once it is ready?

[sbowle1]

Yes, I will upload a copy of my final thesis once it is finished (approximately March or April of 2008). I just posted a copy of my proposal using the link you sent me. Thank you so much for your support.

Got about half way, but the survey is way too long. Part of my job is producing surveys and if you'd done research, you'd have found that people generally won't spend anywhere near that amount of time on a survey. You'll get many more respondents, and therefore more meaningful results if the survey was about 1/8th the size of that.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my survey will be closing at 11:59pm EST today (January 31). Thank you so much for your participation and allowing me to post my study on your forum. I will try to post my results, as well as my entire thesis, as soon as they are ready.
