Subject: Request for Research Participants

Dear Dr. McWhirter,
My name is Erik Clarke and I am a doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology program at the University of Kansas. You probably don't recall, but I met you a few years ago at the annual APA conference held in Washington D.C. with my advisor, Dr. Tom Krieshok. Under his guidance, I am currently recruiting participants for my dissertation study.  This study will examine the role of self-care behaviors among psychology doctoral students.

I would like to ask for your help in forwarding the participation request below to graduate students in your program. This research has been approved by the Human Subjects Committee Lawrence, of the University of Kansas (IRB # STUDY00004322).  If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at ewclarke at ku.edu<mailto:ewclarke at ku.edu> or Dr. Tom Krieshok at tkrieshok at ku.edu<mailto:tkrieshok at ku.edu>.  I greatly appreciate your time and consideration of this request!

Sincerely,
Erik Clarke, M.S.
Doctoral Candidate in Counseling Psychology

Dear participant,
My name is Erik Clarke and I am doctoral student in the counseling psychology program at the University of Kansas.  I am currently conducting a study for my dissertation focused on the role of self-care in the experience of graduate students in counseling and clinical psychology training programs. Given the scant amount of research in this area, your participation will have a significant role in helping our field and training programs better understand and subsequently augment self-care practices.

Participation includes a brief survey that takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey includes demographic questions along with questions about your daily activities and experiences. To participate in the study, you must be currently enrolled in a counseling or clinical psychology training program and be 18 years-old. For your convenience, a solid bar will appear at the top of your survey so you can track your progress towards completion. The survey can also be completed on a smartphone or tablet. If you would like to participate in this study, please click on the link below and you will be directed to the survey:

To ensure your confidentiality, all data will be assigned unique codes and de-identified. Care will also be taken to ensure that the identity of participants cannot be inferred from any of the details provided in the final report. This research has been approved by the Human Subjects Committee Lawrence, of the University of Kansas (IRB # STUDY00004322). If you have any question about this study, please feel free to contact me at ewclarke at ku.edu<mailto:ewclarke at ku.edu> or my advisor, Dr. Tom Krieshok at tkrieshok at ku.edu<mailto:tkrieshok at ku.edu>. Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

Sincerely,
Erik Clarke, M.S.
