My name is Rob McMillan, and I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology seeking volunteers to participate in an online survey for my dissertation research study of life events. The only selection criteria are that you be 18 years of age or older and fluent enough in English to easily read this posting.

The online survey will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on your Internet connection and the speed at which you read and respond to questions about your life.

Remember that all of your responses are confidential, and only I (and my Dissertation Chairperson) will have access to this data. Details regarding confidentiality will be explained in the Participant Consent Form at the beginning of the survey.

Please try to complete this by August 15th, as I hope to have all of my data by that point such that I can start writing my dissertation.

If you complete the survey, you will be entered into a raffle with ten chances to win $200.00.

Please forward this email to friends, family members, coworkers, or anyone else who may be interested in participating.

Thank you kindly for your important contribution to social science and for helping me to complete my Ph.D. program.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email (rmcmillan@alliant.edu) or call (415-374-3325) me.

Please access the survey at www.lifeeventsstudy.com

Thank You, Rob McMillan
