(NAME-MCE) Research on Latino Graduate Students

[Anselmo Villanueva]

Hello Colegas/Familia,

Could you PLEASE pass along this survey link and consent info (see below) to
any LATINO GRADUATE STUDENTS that you may know.

This is my second attempt at data collection because I am still in need of
over 100 more participants.

This is for my dissertation and I could use all the support that I can to
have participants complete my survey.

Let them know that it takes about 20-30 minutes and that they would really
be helping out.

Thank you so much.

Project Title: "Ethnic Identity, Perceptions of Racial Microaggressions, and
Perceptions of University Environment as Predictors of Coping among Latina/o
Graduate Students"

Investigator: Enedelia Sauceda, M.S.

You are being asked to participate in a research project called Ethnic
Identity, Perceptions of Racial Microaggressions, and Perceptions of
University Environment as Predictors of Coping among Latina/o Graduate
Students. Any questions regarding the study may be addressed to Enedelia
Sauceda in the Oklahoma State University Counseling Psychology Program at
817-239-7166 or enedelia.sauceda at okstate.edu.

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the degree to which students'
experiences of ethnic identity, racial microaggressions and university
environment impact how they cope. If you agree to be a participant, we will
ask for 30 minutes to an hour of your time to complete a demographic form
and three questionnaires. These questionnaires will ask about your feelings
about your identified ethnic group, your experiences with racial
microaggressions (covert racism), your perception of your current university
environment, and your coping style.  You are highly encouraged to answer all
questions of the demographic form and questionnaires; however you may stop
at any time.

By completing and returning this survey you are agreeing to participate in
this study. Any identifying information that may connect you to the
completed questionnaires will be discarded. The records of this study will
be kept private. Written results of the study will discuss group findings
and will not include information that will identify you; any identifying
information will be discarded. Research records will be stored securely and
only researchers and individuals responsible for research oversight will
have access to the records.

Participating in the study and completing the questionnaires is completely
voluntary.  You do not have to answer any questions if you do not want to;
you can also withdraw your consent and stop completing the questionnaires at
anytime. The only risks associated with your participation in this study are
ones of inconvenience and/or perhaps recalling an emotional experience. The
only benefit to participating in this study is the knowledge that you are
contributing to research and that the research could bring understanding of
and improvements for Latinos in the educational pipeline.

Enedelia Sauceda will answer any questions you have about the study. If you
have questions about your rights as a research volunteer, you may contact
Dr. Sheilia Kennison, IRB Chair, 219 Cordell North, Stillwater, OK 74078,
405-744-1676 or irb at okstate.edu

This consent form is for your records only. By completing the questionnaires
and returning your responses, you are consenting to participate in this
study. You also are indicating that you are 18 years of age or older.
