Research and Survey Opportunities
Research Surveys Requests: 1. My name is Rachel Block and I’m a graduate student in Counseling Psychology at Iowa State University working with Dr. Patrick Armstrong. I want to bring your attention to our research study: A Survey of Clinician Competence and Experience Treating Religious Trauma in Psychotherapy. The purpose of this study is to explore clinicians’ training, experience, and attitudes related to treating clients who have had traumatic experiences in high-control religious groups. You do not need to have ever had specific training or a clinical focus on religious trauma to participate as we aim to collect a wide variety of perspectives. Individuals with significant religious trauma may face unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by existing therapy approaches. This study aims to explore clinicians’ experience working with religious trauma, any training they have received, and their attitudes toward discussing religion and spirituality in therapy sessions. The survey also asks about clinicians’ personal and professional experience with high-control religious groups and provides an option to include contact information for clinicians who would like to be contacted for future studies.

My name is Abigail Van Patten-Freeman, and I am a Doctoral Candidate in the Department ofCounselor Education at the University of Iowa. I invite you to participate in a dissertation research study that has been approved by the University of Iowa Institutional Review Board (IRB). The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of Executive Function, Emotional Regulation, Organizational Support, and Counseling Experience on Perceived and Aspirational Wellness in Counseling Professionals with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Eligibility: You are eligible to participate in this study if are diagnosed with ADHD and you are a master’s level mental health or rehabilitation counselor (e.g. tLMHC, LMHC, PLPC, LPCA, LPC, CRC). I also invite you to forward this to individuals who may meet the eligibility criteria. What will happen during the research? You will be asked three screening questions after consenting, if you do not meet the eligibility criteria you may not qualify to participate. If you agree to participate, we would like you to take a survey in which you will be asked about demographics, your perceptions of your organization’s support, your levels of executive function and emotional regulation, and the differences between your perceived wellness and your aspirational wellness. This survey is through the University of Iowa’s Qualtrics Platform at the following link: https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eP3tGMPvQIXHO5w Taking part in this research is voluntary: Participating in this research study is completely voluntary. You are free to skip any questions that you prefer not to answer and if you do not want to participate in the study you may exit from the survey without answering any of the questions. This survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Make sure to be in a private space while responding to research information and survey questions. What are the risks and benefits of participation? I will not collect your name or any identifying information about you in the survey. It will not be possible to link you to your responses on the survey. The study will close once statistical power has been reached and all information will be deleted prior to data analysis. If I write a report about this study, Iwill do so in a way in which you cannot be identified. A potential foreseeable risk is that participants may experience an increase in self-awareness of their own levels of emotional regulation, executive functioning, workplace support, burnout and wellness habits which may cause stress. In cases of extreme stress, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or meet with your human resources representative as needed. You will not benefit personally from this study, but we hope that others in the future will benefit from what is learned because of this study. Who should I reach out to with questions? If you have questions about the rights of research subjects, please contact the Human Subjects Office, 105 Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, 600 Newton Rd, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242-1098, (319) 335-6564, or e-mail irb@uiowa.edu.

4. My name is Jessica Stovall. I am a PhD candidate in the Counselor Education and Supervision program at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I am conducting a quantitative study to examine supervisee perception of power dynamics within individual and triadic clinical supervision as a potential predictor of supervisee nondisclosure. This study may help inform clinical supervisors in training professional counselors. I am seeking to recruit participants who are master’s level counseling students or provisionally licensed counselors actively under clinical supervision. Participants can complete the survey linked below to contribute to my study. Responses will be confidential and will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Survey Link: Qualtrics Dissertation Survey 5. Are you a counselor educator navigating the challenges of gatekeeping in academic and clinical training settings? If so, we invite you to participate in a research study exploring how counselor educators perceive and manage these responsibilities. This study, conducted by PhD student researchers at Regent University, aims to identify common challenges and develop a conceptual framework for gatekeeping practices.

I am also a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) in Ohio. I am conducting research for my doctoral dissertation that investigates the views of Clinical Mental Health Counselors (CMHCs) about the implementation of mobile mental health applications (MMHAs) as client treatment interventions. This study has been approved by the Kent State University Institutional Review Board (IRB# 1159). This research follows what is known as Q methodology design. Participation in this study will require a one-time face-to-face meeting with me that will take approximately 30–60 minutes of your time. If you decide to participate in this study, I will meet with you individually (over Microsoft Teams) and you will be asked to sort and rank a series of statements (known as a Q sort) from “most agree” to “most disagree” according to your point of view. After you have sorted the statements, I may ask you some questions related to the Q sort. After you complete your Q-sort, you will receive one follow-up email to complete the member-checking process. The email will contain a copy of your Q-sort and the interpretation of results for your review. You will then have the opportunity to provide feedback regarding the accuracy of the data and interpretation of the results for accuracy. You will then have an opportunity to confirm, correct, or add additional information to your responses to ensure your viewpoint is accurately represented. Participants will be entered for a chance to win one of two $50 Amazon gift cards. If you are willing to participate in this study, please contact me at smarder1@kent.edu. After you have contacted me and expressed your interest to participate, and you meet the eligibility criteria (namely a licensed, practicing, clinical mental health counselor), we will select a day and time to meet that works with your schedule. Please carefully review the attached informed consent form before you make your decision to participate or not. You will be required to sign and date the informed consent to participate in this study. I will collect your signed informed consent by email before we conduct the Q sort. You may discontinue participating in this study at any time without penalty. Thanks in advance for your help and support in completing my dissertation. |
