Question Regarding Assistance with Research Study

Message

Dear Strength in Numbers Representative,

 

My name is Samantha L. Tornello and I am currently working on a research project with Dr. Charlotte J. Patterson at the University of Virginia to study families headed by gay/bisexual fathers. I am contacting you to ask if we could advertise our study to your email list, website, and/or newsletter. The study consists of an online survey and will take approximately 25- 35 minutes of each participant's time. To qualify for the study the participant would have to identify as male, a father, and gay, bisexual or homosexual and have at least one child of any age; this child can be biological, adopted, foster, step, or other child. A man does not need to be the child's legal parent to participate. This study has been approved by the University of Virginia IRB #2008-0407-00. The listing which has been approved for distribution is below (attached) for your review.

 

If you have any questions or need further information please contact Samantha L. Tornello at GayDadsStudy@... or at (434) 243-8558.

 

If you have received this message in error, I greatly apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your time. Sincerely,

Are you a gay/bisexual dad? Would you be willing to answer some confidential questions about your life and about your family? The purpose of this study is to examine the many ways families headed by gay fathers have been created, explore how families function, and learn about the relationship between partners. The study consists of an online survey and will take approximately 25- 35 minutes of your time. To qualify for the study you have to identify as male, a father, and gay, bisexual or homosexual and have at least one child of any age; this child can be biological, adopted, foster, step, or other child. You do not need to be the child's legal parent to participate.

 

This study has been approved by the University of Virginia IRB #20 08-0407-00, and I am working with Dr. Charlotte J. Patterson who is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. If you and/or your partner are interested in participating or want further information please contact Samantha L. Tornello (Principal Investigator) via email GayDadsStudy@.... She will send you a web link that you can use to access the study. Thank you for your interest and I hope to hear about your family soon! Sincerely, Samantha
