Dear Ball State University Students,
We are currently conducting a study and would like to invite you to participate.
The study is looking at misconceptions about traumatic brain injury predicting first-generation college students with traumatic brain injury (TBI) coping skills and their continued pursuit of post-secondary education. This study plans to eliminate the gap in the literature regarding first-generation college students' experiences with TBI. For this study, you will be asked to complete a series of online questionnaires that assess demographic information, coping skills, brain injury information, beliefs about traumatic brain injury, and campus climate for students with disabilities. The study will take approximately 15-25 minutes to complete. The study will take place online through Ball State University’s survey system, Qualtrics. To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and enrolled in a college or university. To participate, you must sign the consent document.
To thank you for your time, there is no compensation for this study.
Please see the attached link (https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eP8iRz6ag0jLJQi) if you are interested in participating in this study. This study is approved by the BSU IRB (#1863244-1).
We hope that you can help us understand more about the attitudes and beliefs of first-generation college students and traumatic brain injury. If you have any questions or concerns about this study please reach out to Eric Pierson, Ph.D. (eepierson@bsu.edu), Keldyn Young, B.S. (klyoung@bsu.edu), and Jamie Bible, M.B.A., M.B.
