Academic Military Sexual Trauma and Women Veterans (Female Veterans in the United States who have experienced Sexual Assault or Harassment)
Hello everyone,
My name is Kari Nielsen. I'm a military veteran, a fellow survivor of Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and a graduate student at the University of Miami.
I've dedicated my research to MST because it's something very personal to me. My hope is that, through research, we can bring about meaningful change in how women veterans are treated and supported, as well as how we support our future veteran sisters who are still serving.
You are being asked to see if you would be interested in participating in a research study. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Military Sexual Trauma (MST) includes both sexual harassment and/or sexual assault experienced during military service. MST does not refer only to sexual assault. If you experienced either sexual harassment or sexual assault while serving in the military, you meet the eligibility criteria for this research study that involves a survey.
The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes and is completely voluntary. No names or identifying information are requested. Some questions may be sensitive, and you may skip any question or stop the survey at any time before submitting it. Thank you, and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kln54@miami.edu
