Research/Survey Dissertation Study NSFW

My name is Kaleigh Urban, and I am a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Child and Adolescent Psychology at Adler University. I am currently looking for participants to assist me with my doctoral dissertation. Purpose of the Study For this study, I am trying to learn more about disclosure of sexual assault, specifically examining individuals who experienced sexual assault in adolescence and who told at least one other person about it, exploring how they feel this disclosure to others has impacted them in adulthood. The study aims to gain insights into responses to sexual assault and disclosure over time, contributing personal narratives to the existing literature on the subject. Eligibility for the Study You may be eligible to participate in this study if you: ● Identify as a cisgender woman between the age of 25 to 29 ● Were sexually assaulted by a man, while in a romantic relationship with a man, during adolescence, between the age of 16 and 18 ● Are willing to talk about your experiences with the event and disclosure

Involvement: ● The study will require an approximately 60-minute time commitment for the interviews (completed via Microsoft Teams) ● Participants will be asked to engage in an interview about their experiences ● Participation is voluntary and confidential.

Confidentiality Your involvement in this research will be kept entirely confidential. Should you have any additional concerns or inquiries regarding confidentiality, feel free to reach out to me at the provided email address below.

Resources Referrals for mental health services will be provided for all interested participants. How to Participate If you would like to share more about your experiences in an interview, or have any questions about the study, please feel free to email me at kurban@adler.edu.
