This online questionnaire is designed to learn more about the prevalence of violence in mediations in the U.S. We hope to use this information to assist in the development of effect protocols for predicting, reducing, and responding to threats to the safety of parties and mediators.

Given the measures taken to ensure anonymity, your participation will not cause you any harm. Your contribution is very important to the success of this survey, but is entirely voluntary. By completing the questionnaire, you agree to participate in this study. When the questionnaire is completed, please make sure you hit the “Done” button.

We thank you in advance for your participation. The information collected will be used solely to further knowledge and practice in the field of mediation through publication and dissemination of the findings. We will share our findings with you as well via email.
