TU/Harford Community College Department of Nursing Surveys
Amanda Girardi, Department of Nursing at Harford Community College, and Dr. Briana Snyder and Sharon Curran, Department of Nursing at Towson University, invite you to participate in a research study about healthy personal relationships and adults with autism. The goal is to implement educational sessions regarding this important topic in the community for adults with autism. First, however, they are looking to acquire a better understanding of what features and topics are important for these sessions. Your feedback as an adult with autism, parent of an adult with autism, or direct service provider, will be incredibly valuable.
Please note that participation is completely voluntary. You can choose to be in the study or not. If you decide to participate, the survey should take about 5-10 minutes. Survey responses are completely confidential, and you may opt out of the survey at any time. In order to compensate you for your time, you will have the option to enter a drawing for a $50 e-gift card at the end of the survey.
