Dear American GI Forum,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Victoria Beach and I am a Clinical Psychology doctoral student at Texas Tech University in the department of Psychological Sciences. I am conducting a research study on the life experiences of Latino/Latina/Latinx adults aged 60 and older in order to gain a better understanding of both the successes and difficulties of aging.
I am reaching out for your assistance in conducting this research. For this study, I am looking for Latino/Latina/Latinx adults aged 60 and older who speak English and who do not display current manic symptoms, cognitive/memory impairment, or psychotic symptoms. I am asking that you forward this information to Latino/Latina/Latinx adults aged 60 and older who speak English and who do not display current manic symptoms, cognitive/memory impairment, or psychotic symptoms. Participants will be asked to participate in a 15-minute telephone call with the researcher to determine eligibility. If eligible, they will be emailed a set of questionnaires to complete, which will take between 30-45 minutes. Their participation is completely voluntary, and they can stop at any point during the study. After completion of the study, they will be eligible to enter into a drawing for a $25 gift card.
