Research Study on Climate Change, Mental Health, & Cultural Background and Identity

Who can participate? Adults (age 18+) who are enrolled as an undergraduate student.
What do I have to do as part of the study? You’ll take a 30-minute survey online via Qualtrics.
What do I get out of it? Participants will be entered to win a $50 Visa gift card for their time. You will also support the understanding of how these various experiences relate to one another, which may inform future research, clinical practice, and community resources.
How do I participate? Follow this link: https://augsburg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_418ZW4DR7qxSurA
