We (The University of Memphis) invites you to participate in a study
titled "The Challenges of Fatherhood." You are eligible to
participate in the study if you are a father and older than 18. The
study examines the roles of fathers in their children's lives and
factors affecting them. If you have experienced the death of a
child, and wish to participate in an additional survey, you will be
directed to another link including
surveys about your experience of that event.
Completion of the survey questions will contribute to the growing
body of information on
father's involvement in their children's' lives. The survey may take
about 30 minutes to complete. This study is completely voluntary and
you may stop at any time or decide not to answer questions that feel
uncomfortable.
As many incomplete answers make the survey difficult to analyze,
however, it will be helpful if you complete all questions that feel
comfortable for you to answer. To protect your anonymity, you will
not be asked to reveal any identifying information, such as name or
address and will not reveal this information. You may pass the link
on to others you know that fit the study requirements (a father over
the age of 18 years) to support a greater understanding about
fathers' roles.
Thank you very much for your time. We appreciate your cooperation.
