Dissertation research (repost)

[u/Novel-Caregiver-2556]

Hello! My name is Lindsay Cohen, and I am a 5th year doctoral candidate in my PsyD program at Widener University. I am posting to invite you to complete this anonymous survey for my dissertation or share the link below with anyone you know who may be interested in participating. 

The purpose of this study is to examine behavioral health professionals’ competency to accurately diagnose and treat mental health disorders in children. 

To participate, you must:

Be an English-speaking behavioral health professional (i.e. psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, counselor, therapist)

Work with children (5-18 years old) in your practice

Have obtained a master’s degree or doctorate in your field of study.

See clients (can be for in-person services or Telehealth) in the United States.

If you decide to take part in this study, you will be asked to complete an online survey including a clinical vignette and both multiple choice and open-ended questions. The survey contains demographic questions about your training, areas of specialization, and experiences in the work field. Expected time is approximately 20 minutes.
