IRRT Research Director
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the 19 certified
practitioners who have volunteered to participate in the IRRT Study 2 Research
Project thus far! Every qualified CP who attended the California Level III
retreat volunteered to be part of the study and we are so very grateful. If you
have been thinking about it, know that it is not too late to participate. Contact
us today if you want to be a part of this ground breaking study.
Please note that our study administrator Denise Smith just
relocated from Philadelphia to Florida. Her new telephone number is 352.419.4434
and new mailing address is 15 N. Archwood Drive Inverness, FL 34450. We have
changed all her contact information on the new study packets. Even though Denise
does yeomen work sending out the study packets and processing the CP
qualification forms and client consent forms; her valiant efforts were thwarted
this month with Florida's weather challenges. Please understand that we have
had some unexpected delays in processing a few study packets. They are on the
way to you!
We heard your suggestions and have made changes to simplify
the study packets and the study process. All new packets now contain multiple
copies of our screening form the Life Events Checklist (LEC), stamps and
envelopes pre-addressed to Dr. Tom Dikel in Gainesville. If you need more
supplies just call Denise. Also new in the process is that there is no need to
individually mail in the LEC forms of those clients who are screened out or
those who decline to participate. Instead feel free to batch the forms and mail
them in weekly. The LEC's are a critical part of this research process, so that
we can show evidence that we have accounted for every single client seen by a
CP during their participation in the study.
To ensure that each IRRT Study 2 CP is getting our research
process updates in a timely manner, we will begin sending out individual
emails. Please keep those ideas and suggestions flowing back to us, call me
(352.476.5599) if you have questions and know how very much each of you are
appreciated!
