Wanted: Parents of Children Ages 5-12
I am a doctorate student in clinical psychology at Baylor University. I am beginning to collect data for my dissertation, and I am hoping that you will help me. My study is interested in stress and ways of coping with stress in parents of children ages 5-12. Specifically, I am looking for parents of children ages 5-12 in three categories:- Parents of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes
- Parents of children with no diagnoses
My hope is to use the data from my dissertation to create an intervention to help parents cope with stress.
If you meet the above criteria, please take this survey: https://baylor.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0GJF7ldjuBwBWEk (the first page is the informed consent, so you can take a look at it before agreeing to take the survey).
If you do not meet the above criteria, please consider forwarding the survey to any parents you know that fit the above criteria.
People who complete the survey can participate in a drawing for one of three $50 giftcards to Amazon.com. Additionally, people who refer others to the survey get their name added into the drawing for each person they refer. I wish I could reward each participant for completing the survey, but I am a poor graduate student and I have to pay for the giftcards out of my own pocket.
Thank you to everyone who helps me with my research!!!

I started to do the survey, but it is so badly written that it gets tedious. I don't know how you can possibly analyse the results to get anything meaningful from it at all that is objective.
Firstly I should say that I have been involved with the design and commissioning of market research surveys for many years. Secondly, I have a child of 11.
Many of the questions are designed for much younger children, or possibly children with autism. They make no sense at all for a normal 11 year old. The average 11 year old boys doesn't really cry a lot for instance. They are also designed to be answered by a family person, not a single mother where the husband is not on the scene very much, which has nothing at all to do with the child. I could go on....
