Hello everyone,

I am a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Palo Alto University recruiting research participants for my dissertation study. The purpose of this study is to identify ways in which Chinese transracial adoptees are reclaiming their culture and identity as emerging adults. Attached is a flyer with more information.

We are looking for individuals who are:

· 18-25 years old

· Adopted from China

· Currently in college or university

· Living in the United States and speak English

Participation in this study is voluntary. There are two components to this study: the first being an online survey and the second being an optional Zoom interview asking follow-up questions from the survey. The online survey is expected to take about 30 minutes to complete from start to finish for a $10.00 Amazon gift card. Only participants who provide accurate answers to all attention-check questions will continue in the study and be prompted to provide an email address in a secondary survey for compensation provided within 7 days of completion.

At the completion of the survey, you will be asked if you would like to participate in an optional 30-minute Zoom interview portion of the study for an additional $10.00 Amazon gift card. The Zoom interview consists of asking more detailed questions about their short response answers from the survey. Participants who agree to the interview will be asked to enter their email address and availability for scheduling the interview at the end of the survey in order for the responses to be linked. The research team will then email the participant within 7 days of completing the survey about scheduling dates for the interview, send out a confirmation email with the Zoom link information, and provide compensation for the survey portion. Participants may turn off their camera and/or use a pseudonym if they would like. Participants will be compensated for their time for the interview portion (within 7 days of the interview) in the form of a $10.00 Amazon gift card sent to the email address provided. If you are interested in participating, please click the link below. bit.ly/3Z7z9oO. Please also forward to any Chinese transracial adoptees who may be interested in participating.

Thank you, Allison Drazba 408-412-1655 Doctoral Candidate Palo Alto University
