Dear friends:

As part of my doctoral research in clinical psychology, I am currently soliciting participants for a study about acculturation and substance use among Asian Indians living in the United States. The study asks for demographic information, experiences as an Asian Indian person living in the United States, and past or present drug and/or alcohol use. Your participation in this survey is requested and appreciated. After completing the survey, you can enter a drawing to win a $75 gift certificate from Amazon.com.

Participation is completely voluntary and confidential. You will not be asked to provide your name or any other identifying information. No one will be able to link your answers to you personally. This study has been approved by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS # 11-20-07-01) and follows CPHS ethical standards and guidelines.

The survey takes minimal time to complete (about 15-25 minutes) and will provide much needed psychological research about Asian Indians. If you are 1) of Asian Indian descent, 2) living in the United States, and 3) 18 years or older, please take a few minutes to fill out the survey.
