RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: Prevalence & Impact of Bullying and Cyberbullying in LDS
***We have about 35 surveys, thus need at least 15 more to be able to look at the results***
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine are interested in learning about the experience with bullying and cyberbullying (online bullying) in the Loeys-Dietz syndrome population.
Bullying and cyberbulling are reported in approximately 21% and 34% of the general population. We are trying to understand if these numbers may be different in those affected with Loeys-Dietz syndrome.
We are inviting adolescents between the ages of 12-18 years AND their parent/guardian to participate in an online survey about this topic. This survey must be filled out together and in one sitting.
The questionnaire involves questions about demographics, bullying, cyberbullying and resilience scales, as well as an opportunity to give your points of view on this topic. It should take about 20-40 minutes.
Choosing to complete the survey is your choice. Your answers will be anonymous and confidential (no one will know your personal information or how you answered the questions). You will not get paid for participating in this survey, but at the end you can choose to submit your email address for the chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card.
Thank you for your consideration! More survey information, contact information for the study team and fact sheet on bullying can be found at link below. (Print information)
