Hello, 

I hope your winter break went well! I wanted to briefly follow up and see if you have any questions, concerns regarding the study? In addition, I was wondering if you could possibly forward this to students in your organization? Please feel free to reach out to me or Dr. Tummala-Narra at tumm...@bc.edu if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,

Alexina

Dear Students of the MSA,

I am writing to invite you to participate in a research study addressing emotional well-being and experiences of discrimination among Muslim American college students. This study will contribute to knowledge about Muslim American college students attending an undergraduate institution in the U.S., and help with developing culturally competent services for Muslim American college students.

I invite you to participate if you:

• Enrolled as a student at a U.S. college or university

• Between 18 and 25 years of age

• Born outside of the U.S. and arrived to the U.S. by age 12, or born and raised in the U.S., with at least one parent who is an immigrant to the U.S.

• Identify as Muslim

Your participation in this study will involve the completion of several questionnaires related to background information, your experiences with people within and outside of your family, and your well-being.  These questionnaires can be completed online via Qualtrics, and should take you about 30 minutes to complete. At the end of your participation, you will be given the option to participate in a raffle for a $50 gift card to Amazon.com.

Your participation in this research is voluntary and would be greatly appreciated.  If you are interested in participating in this study, you can access the survey at the following web address: https://bostoncollege.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dcIH3qeX9ObFnXD.  

If you prefer a hard copy of the questionnaire, please feel free to contact me via email.  If you know of anyone who is of Muslim American background attending college in the U.S. who may also be interested in participating in the study, please pass on this letter including the link to Qualtrics to him/her.  Thank you for your consideration in participating in this study. If you have any questions concerning this research study, please contact Dr. Tummala-Narra at tumm...@bc.edu or (617) 552-4491.  

Whatever your decision about participating, thank you very much for considering this invitation.  

Sincerely,

Alexina Pilo
