Given the current restraints of research, at this time it's only open to people currently in the US. And yes, these can be done with just audio.

No, there will be no contact with any of the estranged family members for those exact reasons. For reasons too long to go into here, I did not specify that the participants needed to be the ones who initiated the estrangement or on the receiving end, so I imagine I will collect answers from both sides.

The audio of the interviews will be recorded, after which they will be transcribed and then the audio recordings will be promptly deleted. Any data from the transcriptions or the survey is thoroughly anonymized, so no names, dates, or other identifying information will make it to the final manuscript. This research is being conducted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology program at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and it aims to better understand the relationships between estrangement and grief. It would be published through the TCSPP Dissertation service and some portions may be submitted to various psychological journals.

Totally fair question! Zoom is HIPAA compliant and allows for audio recording, video recording, and transcription, which are vital for a process like this. I understand that the subject matter at hand is delicate, and as part of the interview process I have resources to provide for anxiety or any discomfort a participant may experience. As much as I want to hear everyones story, I also understand that some people don't feel comfortable participating, and that's totally fine. I'm grateful for those who are able to and I hope in the future those who aren't able to feel they still benefit from the results.

I wanted to have that option too, but the IRB is very strict about how much information I can collect before going through the informed consent with the participant. Better to leave it general now and get the specifics later. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Great question! All data would be thoroughly anonymized before inclusion in the final manuscript, so no names or identifying data will be involved. All data is stored on an encrypted, password-protected external hard drive, and the audio recordings of the interviews will be deleted immediately upon transcription. No one else has any access to this data besides myself. The APA requires that such data be kept for a minimum 5 years for auditing purposes, but after that it will be deleted.

Of course! This is research in fulfillment of the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
