Opportunity to Contribute to Stroke Research

Emma Gregg, OTD, OTR/L is looking for participants for research for her PhD dissertation...

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. I am looking for participants for my dissertation work aimed at understanding identity in adults who have had an acquired brain injury (e.g. TBI, stroke). Participation in the study includes completing a one-time, online survey, with the option to participate in a follow-up focus group. After completing the survey, you can enter a raffle to win one of two $25 gift cards, and all focus group participants will receive a $25 gift card for their time. Please see the flyer attached and contact me (ergregg@uw.edu) if you are interested or have additional questions. Thank you for your consideration!

Warm regards,

Caroline Morris, Melissa Gray, and Sandy Austin
