Hello,

I am writing to let you know about an opportunity to participate in a voluntary research study about mental health supports for adults with disabilities in Utah. This study is being conducted by the Institute for Disability Research at Utah State University and has been approved by the USU Institutional Review Board (Protocol #12468).

As part of our data collection, we are conducting a survey to assess the availability of mental health supports for individuals with disabilities. We are seeking a broad range of respondents, consisting of individuals with disabilities, family members, mental health providers, and disability service providers including direct support staff.

We invite you to share your experience with Utah’s mental health and disability service systems by completing this survey: https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8wPVbxFhCtS9l5A

Survey responses are anonymous and cannot be connected to your identity. The information you share will help guide our project planning efforts. This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete.

Please help us by sharing this survey with others. Feel free to forward this email and survey link to your friends, family, and clients who may have experience with accessing mental health supports. We want to hear from everyone!

If you would like more information about this study or project, please do not hesitate to contact us at 435-797-0836 or contact the project coordinator, Tatiana Perilla at [email protected].

Thank you for your consideration,

Matthew Wappett
