My name is Unique Melvin, and I am a doctoral student in the APA-accredited Ph.D. Program in Clinical Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University. I am currently collecting data as part of my dissertation research. The study is intended to explore the social, cultural and environmental experiences of psychology graduate students as it relates to the support toward completion of degree and well being.
If you are currently enrolled in a psychology doctoral program, reside in the United States, have internet access, have completed at minimum one year of the doctoral program, and self-identity with one of the following groups: Middle Eastern American, Black/African American, African, Hispanic/Latino, Native American or Alaska Native, Asian American, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islander, Afro-Caribbean and multi-ethnic, I invite you to participate in this brief survey.
The survey should take approximately 12 minutes to complete (10-22 minutes). Your participation in this study is voluntary, and you are free to withdraw at any time. To participate in this study, please click on the following link:

As a thank you for your participation, upon completion of the survey you will be invited to be entered into a drawing for one of four $25 Amazon gift cards. The four participants will be selected and notified by July 2018, and will receive their gift card within 30 days of email notification. If you choose to participate in the drawing, your email address will not be connected to your answers to the survey and you will remain anonymous.
