My name is Melissa Wright and I am working on a doctorate degree in adult education and I need help with my dissertation. After a lifetime of struggles, I was diagnosed with ADHD in my mid-twenties. Suddenly everything that I had been through over the years finally made sense. The diagnosis and treatment I received finally allowed me to do things that I had always wanted to so such as work on my doctorate.
If you are at least 18 years old AND have ADHD, would you please consider completing a questionnaire for me. It is anonymous and should only take about 15-20 minutes of your time. If you are or know someone who is 18 or over and has ADHD and are willing to complete the questionnaire, could you please e-mail me at melissa.wright@eagles.usm.edu with your/their e-mail address and I will send you/them a letter which explains the study and the instructions and link to complete it.
The study is about adults with ADHD and their readiness to engage in self-directed learning. Specific factors to be examined will be how self-directed learning readiness in adults with ADHD is related to gender, age of diagnosis of ADHD, level of education, and types of treatment. Please help a fellow person with ADHD. If you are interested, please e-mail me at melissa.wright@eagles.usm.edu.
Thanks.

Melissa is working on her doctorate at the University of Southern Mississippi and the questions are general enough that there won't be a cultural bias.
Also, Melissa's research has been approved by her University's "Institutional Review Board" which is the American equivalent of our Ethics Approval.
So if anyone would like to take part in Melissa's research feel free to go ahead.
Anyway, I'm going to move this thread into the research volunteers board and I will turn it into an announcement.
