Hope Focused Couples Project Follow Up Survey |
Introduction
Tiffany Channing, doctoral student and researcher at Regent University is conducting a study about the long term treatment effects of the Hope Focused Couples Project of the MMATE Center for her dissertation. This project is part of a clinical trial study, meaning that the researchers are investigating the effects of the project. You are being contacted as you were a past participant of the Hope Couples Project.
If you participate, you will complete a brief (10-15 minute) survey including questions about your current demographics, relationship satisfaction and functioning, quality of relationships, rating of your counselor, and if your primary goal was met during treatment. If you have further questions, you can contact Tiffany Channing or Jennifer Ripley at 757-774-6756 / jennrip@mail.regent.edu.

RISKS: As a result of answering questions about your relationship, you may briefly recall unpleasant events, arouse intense emotions, and/or alter close relationships. Please be aware of this risk.
