Ongoing Studies

Check back periodically to see if there are any new opportunities to contribute to current understandings of trauma and dissociation!

There is one study currently available for adults who are diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. The study advertisement is as follows:

My name is Megan Orton. I am a fourth-year student in the School of Professional Psychology at Spalding University in Louisville, KY. I am inviting you and others you may know to join in a study about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in adults. The purpose of this study is to explore the conditions that may lead to developing DID.

To participate, you must be 18 years or older and believe you carry a diagnosis of DID. Participants will need to be proficient in reading English to complete this study. You will be asked to complete a 30-minute online survey. The survey will include questions about your overall wellbeing, your relationships, and your history of trauma.

Your name will not be linked to your responses. You may withdraw from the study at any time without penalty. At the end of the survey, you will be provided with a separate link to submit your information for a chance to win one of six gift cards!
