Involvement Opportunities

1.Boston College Study Participation: We would like to invite you to participate in our study which focuses on Asian Indians' views about men and women, views about and experiences with gender and sexual violence, and about living in the United States.  I invite you to participate if you:

-          Are 18 years or older

-          Are of Asian Indian descent (either born in the U.S. or born outside the U.S.)

-          Are fluent in English (Survey is administered in English)

-          Currently live in the United States


Your participation in this study will involve the completion of several questionnaires related to background information, your perspectives about living in the United States and about men, women, and sexual violence.  These questionnaires can be completed online via Qualtrics and should take you about 20-25 minutes to complete.  At the end of your participation, you will be given the option to participate in a raffle for a $75 gift card to Amazon.com. If you are interested in participating in this study, you can access the survey at the following web address: https://bclynch.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eFqn2yiprqkWh9i. If you have any questions concerning this research study, please contact me at tumm...@bc.edu or (617) 552-4491.
