Provider Opinions on the Effectiveness of Yoga

Dear Executive Director:

I, Cassidy Sloot, along with the help of my faculty mentor, Dr. Shelly Brandenburger, am conducting a research project entitled "Old Tradition, New Perspective: Provider Opinions on the Effectiveness of Yoga as an Alternative Treatment Method for Eating Disorders" as part of an independent study project to fulfill the Honors College graduation standards at South Dakota State University. The purpose of the study is to examine providers' opinions about the effectiveness of Yoga as an integrative treatment method for eating disorders.
You as a treatment provider are invited to participate in the study by completing this electronic survey. We realize that your time is valuable and have attempted to keep the requested information as brief and concise as possible. It will take approximately 30 minutes of your time. Your participation in this project is voluntary. You may withdraw from the study at any time without consequence.
There are no known risks to you for participating in this study. The benefits to you are being a contributor to understanding the effectiveness, whether positive or negative, of the integrative treatment methods currently being offered to patients at various treatment centers across the U.S., along with a more detailed examination of Yoga as it specifically relates to eating disorder treatment and recovery success. Your responses are strictly confidential. When the data and analysis are presented, neither you nor your facility will be linked to the data by name, title or any other identifying item.
We would greatly appreciate if you could assist us in our research by completing the electronic survey through Question Pro. If you have any questions, now or later, you may contact us at the number below. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant in this study, you may contact the SDSU Research Compliance Coordinator at 605-688-6975, [email protected].
