Moral Elevation Study

ACTIVELY RECRUITING

We are looking for participants who have experienced a situation in the military that induced moral injury symptoms (e.g., anger, guilt, shame, sadness, disgust) and you’ve deployed before. You can make up to $33.00 if you qualify. There are three parts to this study. Here is the link to the baseline survey: https://tinyurl.com/MoralElevationStudy

Here are the steps to this study:
(1) Take the baseline survey to determine eligibility and to gather information about your experiences. There is no compensation for this part.
(2) If you qualify and have the symptoms we are looking for, then you will be met with one of our research assistants (virtually via zoom or phone call) to go over consent procedures and to ask any questions you may have about the study or your participation.
(3) Then you will begin to start whatever part of the study you elected to participate in.

(a) If you elected to participate in Part 2 of the study, then you will complete the 12 daily surveys and post-follow up survey

(b) If you elected to participate in Part 3, then you will complete the post-follow up survey
