TITLE OF STUDY: American Indian - Dads and Daughters Survey (AI-DADS)


Principal Investigator:  Dr. Irene Vernon, 970-491-2642,
IRENE.VERNON at COLOSTATE.EDU



CO-Principal Investigator:  Dr. Martin Reinhardt, 303-623-5531,

This study is being conducted in partnership between the Interwest
Equity Assistance Center (IEAC) and the Center for Applied Studies in
American Ethnicity (CASAE) at Colorado State University. Our advisory
group for this study is composed of members of the IEAC American Indian
Advisory Council, and Joe Kelly of the Dads and Daughters organization.





We are requesting your assistance in recruiting American Indian fathers,
step-fathers or adoptive-fathers, 18 years or older, of at least one
American Indian daughter to participate in this study by filling out a
paper based, or web-based, copy of the AI-DADS. A recruitment flyer is
attached to this announcement for public posting.





Very little research based data currently exists regarding the
relationships between American Indian fathers, step-fathers, and
adoptive-fathers and their American Indian daughters. The purpose of
this study is to collect information about those relationships and the
data will be compared with results of a 2004 Roper Poll conducted on
behalf of Dads and Daughters organization that focused on fathers in
general.





This study is being conducted both on-site and on-line. The paper based
survey will be administered at various conferences/meetings by the
primary or co-primary investigator. The web-based survey will be
available by clicking on the AI-DADS link at
http://www.colostate.edu/programs/EAC/
<http://www.colostate.edu/programs/EAC/>   All participants are required
to read a consent form and check a box if they agree to allow their
survey to be used in this study.





There are 50 questions that will take an estimated 15-30 minutes to
answer. Participants can begin the survey at any time, and if they do
not complete it, they are able to save it and come back later to finish.
The survey will be available for a period of 30 days once participants
sign-in for the first time. Once they complete the web-based survey and
hit the submit button, the survey will no longer be available. All
surveys must be completed by June 15, 2007 by 12pm Mountain Time.

"What is called education today was, for American Indians, a journey for
learning to be fully human. Learning about the nature of the spirit in
relationship to community and the environment was considered central to
learning the full meaning of life" (Cajete, 1994).
