[CLOH-News & waterpolo] Fwd: Research study needs participants - for $ - and getting equipment from central PA this weekend

[Mark Rauterkus]

Hi Folks,

There is a chance to make $50 by being in a research study. It takes
two sessions, each about an hour in length. Grant did it a couple of
weeks ago. I told B.H. that I'd make this info available too.

This has nothing to do with sports -- as is the design of this email
blast list, but I wanted to see how it would handle the attachment
functions as well.

Feel free to pass this along to others.

PS: I need to get to the central part of PA (210 miles from here) this
weekend (Labor Day) to pick up two used water polo goals. They can
then be used in school pools. But, I need either a truck (big pick-up)
or cargo van or trailer. Rental of a U-Haul trailer that is 12-feet
long is only $29 per day. Fine. But, the hitch is greater than $250 --
as that has to be purchased and installed, not rented. So, I'm
wondering what to do. ideas and solutions welcomed.

Mr. Rauterkus,
    Thank you so much for agreeing to pass this research information
along.  I really appreciate it.  Attached is the consent form and
below is a brief description of what the study entails.  My contact
information is: phone: (954)288-5785 and email: kjm53 at pitt.edu.
Thanks,
Kate Monahan

    This research explores auditory processing disorders (APD) in
children between the ages of ten and twelve.  There are two
components to this research study.  At the first appointment a
clinical doctoral student will administer a standard hearing test and
a screening test for a type of auditory processing disorder.  If the
screenings indicate normal hearing in both ears and no evidence of an
auditory processing disorder, he/she will be eligible for continued
participation in the control group."

If your son/daughter is eligible to continue with the study, the second
phase will involve the scheduling of an appointment for an MLR recording.
This phase involves the wearing of stretchy cap that is fitted with 64
electrodes.  Once the cap is fitted, your child will be instructed to sit
quietly while clicks are presented to the left ear, right ear and both
ears.  Both phases of the study will be done at the Auditory Processing
Laboratory, Forbes Tower, on the University of Pittsburgh campus.
Compensation will be provided in the form of $25 for each part of the
research study.  Please call (954)288-5785 or (412)648-0156 if interested.
 You can also email kjm53 at pitt.edu.
Thank you.
