Participants wanted for FASD behavior study: girls and young women ages 12-30 [Research Study]

Description:

NORTHWEST NAZARENE UNIVERSITY PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH

Volunteers are Needed
FASD behavior study
Girls and Young Women ages 12-30

As we continue our research to understand the behaviors that are caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol we have started a new study specifically for girls and young women. We are interested in personality characteristics that may lead to certain types of behaviors that may be self-harming.

Type of Volunteers Needed:
Girls and young women ages 12-30 years with prenatal exposure to alcohol
A diagnosis is not necessary to participate as long as prenatal exposure to alcohol is known.

What must be done?: A care provider will complete the FASD BeST which is a 52 item rating scale about the girl’s or young woman’s behavior. The girl or young woman will complete the EDI-2 which consists of opinion or preference items. The scales will take 15-25 minutes to complete.

Who do we contact? The principal researcher is Dr. Glena Andrews. Contact her at
[email protected] or 208-467-8459. The principal student researcher is Linsey Strader.
We are located in Nampa, Idaho.
The packet with demographic form and consent forms will be sent to you. A postage paid envelope will be included.

If requested we can provide feedback on the information you provide. All information reported will be done in group form. No personal information will ever be given out.
