Sexual Assault Survivors’ Attitudes and Experiences Survey

Sexual Assault Survivors’ Attitudes and Experiences Survey

Dear Participant:

We are a research team in the Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. We are conducting an empirical study examining attitudes, feelings, and experiences associated with being a sexual assault survivor. This online research survey will ask questions about your background, feelings, thoughts, and experiences you may have had as a sexual assault survivor, participation in various types of activities, and psychological health. We invite you to participate in this survey in order to help better understand the lives of sexual assault survivors.

To be eligible for this study, you must be at least 18 years old and have experienced sexual assault in adulthood (age 16+). The survey is anonymous and takes about 30 minutes to complete. As an incentive to participate, all participants will be given the chance to enter a raffle awarding a $50 Amazon.com gift card to randomly selected participants. If you want to be entered into the raffle without participating in the study, send an email to cstraus3@vols.utk.edu requesting to do so.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail announcement to eligible friends/colleagues and other sexual assault resource-related listservs. Thanks in advance for your help with this project!
