Hi there! I am Dr. Léa Séguin, a researcher from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), and I am currently seeking participants to fill out a 30- to 45-minute online survey (https://sondage.uqam.ca/822945?lang=en)
Study background:
0rgasm is not only a physical experience; it can also be rich in meaning for many people. However, not much is currently known about these meanings and how they may be related to se*ual communication. This study aims to better understand whether and how 0rgasm beliefs can be linked to people's se*uality and how they communicate with their partner.
If you...
· are at least 18 years old;
· are in a committed relationship;
· have been se*ually active in the last 4 weeks;... and would like to participate in a study on 0rgasm beliefs, se*uality, and communication, copy and paste the link below into your internet address bar to take the confidential survey! Participation in this study involves answering 210 to 225 questions online, which might take 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
This survey is open to individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Study Title: How everyday experiences contribute to ethnic minority individuals’ wellbeing
Eligibility Requirements: Seeking individuals who are 16 years or older who can read and write well in English and who identify as ethnic minorities (e.g., Black/African-Canadians, Indigenous Canadians, East Asians) to partake in a two-part study.
Study description: The objective of this two-phase study is to examine the relationship between coping responses to everyday challenges and wellbeing. For phase 1, participants will complete an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will ask participants questions about their mental health status (e.g., anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms) and how they cope with negative life events or challenges. The second phase of the study will consist of completing daily expressive writing activities for seven consecutive days. Participants will be asked to reflect on things that occurred earlier that day, while following guides to help them reflect on these events. The second phase of the study will also consist of completing four follow-up online questionnaires, one immediately after the writing activities have ended and three at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after completing the writing program. Enrollment in phase 2 of the study requires the completion of the online questionnaire for phase 1. If participants are interested in enrolling in phase 2, they will have the opportunity to provide us with their email address to commence phase 2. This study has received ethical approval by the ethics board at the University of Ottawa.
Duration: The first phase of the study will take approximately 1 hour to complete. The second phase of the study will take approximately 10-15 minutes a day for seven days and approximately 1 hour for each follow up survey.
Benefits: The opportunity to engage in self-reflection and learn techniques that could help process and cope with challenges.
Compensation: For phase 2, you will have the opportunity to win one of four $50 money orders. Each writing session and follow-up survey completed will correspond to the number of chances you will have to win one of four money prizes in a draw (i.e., if you complete 7/7 writing exercises and 4/4 follow-up surveys, you will have 11 entries into the draw).
Contact: If participants have any questions about our research, they are encouraged to contact the research assistant (Kayla Boileau, kboil070@uottawa.ca).
