Online Therapy Ethics Research Study
How ethically are we practicing?
Study Updates
A very warm thank you to every one of you who participated in this endeavor. Gratitude goes to all of those listed below, as well of those who participated but are not on the list below. This type of participation in research reflects so well on the online mental health community as a whole. I have been bowled over by the amount of support, offers to assist and the like. It has all been very unexpected.
A special thank you to Robert Hsuing and Jason Zack for their input in the survey tool itself.
The dispensing of incentives begins this week, so keep your eye out on your email! Those who received Amazon incentives will receive both the reading list and the electronic gift card via email and Starbucks recipients will receive a notification email with the reading list requesting a mailing address for the gift card for those who did not include one in their initial request. If you haven't received your incentive by August 15, please drop me an email, letting me know, and forward along your original email with your request code in it if you still have it, or my response to your request email, that will help things along if there is a problem.

Progress is being made! Incentive list members are in the process of having random numbers assigned to their submitted email addresses in order to determine what level of incentive will be awarded to them. The conference went well (see above). I will upload a link to the published paper from the conference soon. Thanks again for your participation!

Thank you to all of you who participated in this study. Currently we are sifting through the data and "cleaning" it up. You should have gotten a brief response from me (kholmes@uu.edu) stating that I had received your information and that you were on my list...or even a simple "got it!". If you didn't, I probably still have your information but my response may have gone through your spam filter. So if you are not sure, feel free to email me and check in to make sure you are on my list.
I have received approximately one thousand emails, and am getting close to sorting through each of them and designating them to various lists. I wish I had an exact timeline for you as far as incentive distribution and /or results. However, I do have to graduate at the end of August- so sometime this summer!
I will be speaking on this topic at the CyberPsychology Conference in San Diego (June) if you are going to be there...you will get a sneak peek at the results!

If you are interested in being contacted for further questions (follow up) in the form of a phone (or email) interview, please feel free to send me an email request to kholmes@uu.edu as the survey is anonymous (we are not able to even collect IP addresses on this platform) and I have no way to identify you.
