Hi Melisma,
I'm glad you posted (and also thanks for wishing the study well). From the perspective of counseling psychologists, perhaps the most important thing for a therapist to do is to gain understanding of individuals they work with and to challenge the assumptions and stereotypes our field might have about "groups" of people. As such, "understanding" and raising awareness is crucial for any applied work we might do or services we deliver. I saw the site's research request page with Betsy's post and simply wanted to say that I'm glad there are places online that are still receptive to research, especially given the somewhat controversal and stigmatizing history it has had in this context. As always, if you have specific questions about the study or it's aims, I'm more than happy to answer them and my contact info is in my first post.
Best,
Matt
