HDFS PhD student at the U of MO is conducting a narrative inquiry exploring the dating experiences of disabled college students and needs a few more participants. The purpose of the study is to better understand how disabled students navigate dating and relationships, and to identify ways in which their relational self-efficacy is impacted by their experiences.
