Stress and Related Factors in Couples Who Have Children with ASD

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I am currently recruiting couples to participate in a study that examines

stress, relationships and well-being in couples who have a child with autism.

The current experiment is part of a doctoral dissertation within the Hofstra

University Department of Psychology being conducted by na LaRossa, M.S.

under the supervision of Gilbert, Ph.D.

completely voluntary and that you are free to withdraw at any point throughout

the duration of the study without penalty.

This study is being conducted as part of a doctoral dissertation. In this study,

you and your spouse will each independently fill out a set of questionnaires and

rating scales. The total time to complete the set of questionnaires and scales

is estimated to be 30 minutes. The measures will be mailed to you and a

pre-stamped and addressed envelope will be included for you to return the

completed packets.

All information provided will remain confidential and will not be associated

with you or your spouse's name. When this study is complete you will be provided

with the results, if you request them.
