ACT Guide for Parents of Children with a Disability
We are recruiting for a research study at USU that aims to test a new six-session mental health program called ACT Guide for Parents of Children with Disabilities. If you are eligible and choose to participate, we will ask you to complete a brief screening survey and baseline survey. You will then be randomly assigned to either the treatment condition in which you will work on the ACT Guide program over the next 6 weeks, or to a waitlist condition in which you will be provided with the ACT Guide program after a period of 10 weeks. You will then complete a post-test survey (6 weeks after baseline) and a follow-up survey (10 weeks after baseline).
If you choose to participate, you will receive a $5 Amazon gift card after completing the baseline survey and program registration, another $10 Amazon gift card after completing the post-test survey, and another $15 Amazon gift card for the follow-up survey.
Each survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. Each session of the ACT Guide program will take approximately 20 minutes to complete, and we recommend doing one session per week. Thus, it will take 2-3 hours total to complete all 6 sessions over a 6-week period.
Your total participation is estimated to take between 4-5 hours total including the online program, assessments, and communication with the research team.
