Dear Community Partner,
I am currently working on a research project titled; "
Trauma and Posttraumatic Growth after the 2017 Northern California Wildfires."
I am in the process of recruiting participants to complete an anonymous survey that takes fewer than 10 minutes to complete. If you would like to participate, please click the following link:
https://usfca.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6rHsfnfHHWlO7MF.
The purpose of my study is to investigate the prevalence of trauma and posttraumatic growth (PTG) among residents in Sonoma County and/or Napa County, 3 months after the fire. We hope that the results of the survey will help us better understand the clinical needs of our communities. Please consider completing this survey if you meet the following requirements:
- Age 18-65
- Resident of Sonoma County and/or Napa County
- Directly experienced the 2017 Northern California Wildfires in Sonoma County and/or Napa County. ("Directly experienced" is defined in this survey as residing, working, or studying in Sonoma or Napa at the time of the fires. (Even if you were on vacation or temporarily away from home but directly experienced the negative consequences of the fires, you can still take this survey).
Would you mind sharing this survey with other colleagues, family, and friends?
