Shout out to Sister-friends:African American women 18-40

Greetings!

My name is Rikesha Fry Brown and I am a Counseling Psychology doctoral student at Howard University. I am currently working on my doctoral dissertation, which is chaired by Dr. Angela D. Ferguson. I am writing to ask for your help by participating in a study that will help me assess African American women’s experiences and attitudes toward media. The only requirements for participation are that you are an African American female between the ages of 18 and 40.

Participation in this study is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time. It will take you approximately 45 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses will remain confidential such that only the researchers will have access to your data. You will never be asked to provide your name and identification codes will be used to assure your anonymity. After full completion of the questionnaire, you will have the option of providing an email address to be entered into a drawing to win a $100 American Express gift card. Only researchers will have access to the data file containing the email address, the email address will only be used for the purpose of the drawing, and it will be deleted following completion of the study.
