Greetings,

My name is Bryan O. Rojas-Araúz, I am a doctoral candidate in Counseling Psychology, DREAMer, and the Education, Prevention, and Outreach specialist with the University Counseling Center (UCC). I am writing to invite you to participate in a study I am conducting in collaboration with the UCC in which we will be discussing the coping strategies and perceptions of mental health among undocumented and DACAmented students. Our aim is to explore the life stories of undocumented students to identify ways in which they cope, identify barriers and/or reservations to seeking support, as well as identify strengths and assets for obtaining support.
Individuals are eligible for this study if you are enrolled at the University of Oregon, are at least 18 years of age, and identify as an undocumented or DACAmented student. If you decide to participate, you will be asked to participate in one 1-2 hour interview, which will be a conversation with me to discuss your coping strategies, perspectives, and suggestions. I will ask a series of questions, and you will share your opinions about the questions. The interview will be audio recorded, but we are taking the steps necessary to protect students’ identities and confidentiality. Due to COVID-19 safety regulations and CDC recommendations, I will take the steps needed to protect participants' health and engage in remote data collection at the participants preference, for either a telephone, or secure video platforms interview, such as Zoom. I am happy to further explain these protections and answer any questions you may have.

If you decide to participate in this study, you will be provided with a $20.00 gift card.

If you'd like to participate or have any questions about the study, please use your prefer mode of communication you can email me (bor at uoregon.edu<mailto:bor at uoregon.edu>) or call / text me at 541-632-3343.

Thank you very much!

Best,


Bryan O. Rojas-Araúz, M.S.
