One of my friends is currently working on collecting data for his PhD. Please see below.

Aaron M. Laxton, student in the school of social work at Saint Louis University, is inviting you to participate in this research study.

The title of this study is “Examining Spatial Reasoning in Individuals Recovering from Drug and Alcohol Use Disorder”. The purpose of this study is to measure spatial reasoning among individuals who are recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. A secondary objective is to assess the effects of substance abuse and recovery on spatial reasoning.

Your participation in this study will involve participating in an online survey. The study proposes that it will take 5 minutes to complete the survey.

Participation in this study will not benefit you directly. Your participation may benefit others by expanding knowledge regarding strategies, interventions, services provision, and accessibility that enhance the overall wellbeing of international students

The risks to the participant are minimal and include loss of anonymity. To minimize this risk, the study team will not collect any identifiable information including IP addresses. Study data will only be accessible to the study team. You may experience participant distress or discomfort experienced because of answering questions on survey instruments or feel pressure to answer questions or to provide responses in assessments. This pressure may cause stress or distress. To minimize these risks, you can choose not to answer any question that makes you uncomfortable.

The results of this study may be published in scientific research journals or presented at professional conferences. However, your name and identity will not be revealed, and your record will remain anonymous. Data collection instruments will not request any personally identifiable information.

You can choose not to participate. If you decide not to participate, there will not be a penalty for you or the loss of any benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. You may withdraw from this study at any time.
