You are invited to participate in this observational research on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that impact college student academic achievement. This web-based informed consent form is for adult persons, 18 years of age or older, who identify as Latin American, Latino/Latina/Latinx, Hispanic, and have graduated with a bachelor's degree from a four-year institution. Participation in this research is completely voluntary. If you agree to participate now, you are free to change your mind later and stop participation. There are no negative consequences for not participating. This study has been approved through A.T. Still University and will include 350 participants.
What is the purpose of this study?
Among the many ethnic populations in the United States, Latin American students experience significant barriers to achieving their educational goals. According to statistics gathered by the National Center for Education Statistics, Latin American students have the highest high school dropout rate and the lowest rate of persons with a bachelor's degree by age 25 years. While they may have similar college enrollments as their White counterparts, Latin American students have a reduced rate of persons completing their degrees within six years. While significant barriers and challenges exist, we know that many students within the Latin American community have overcome the challenges, yourself included. This research will identify the scope and prevalence of some of the most cited factors that impact student success.
