"My name is Katie Jorgenson and I am associated with the School of Education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I am conducting a study on Somali men and women’s experiences in the United States and Somalia and would like to invite you to participate in this research project. I hope that the information obtained from this study will further our understanding about the experiences of Somali men and women and to improve services to your community.

Participation in this study will require you to complete a questionnaire (see link below). You will be asked questions about your experiences in Somalia, your adjustment to the United States, and any mental health symptoms you may be experiencing. You will also be asked about some of the traumatic experiences you may have had prior to traveling to the United States. There is a slight risk that these questions may cause some discomfort, so please remember that your participation is completely voluntary.

This questionnaire is available in both English and Somali language and should take between 20-40 minutes. You do not need to give your name and your individual responses will not be shared.

In appreciation for your time and participation, you will be entered in a raffle to win a $20 gift card of your choice. In order to be eligible to receive the card, you will have to provide your name and e-mail address. However, this information will be kept separate from your responses to the questionnaire and is confidential.

You may take the survey in either English or Somali language
