[QUOTE="Martie, post: 22033, member: 284"] Suz, 60 60 means I cannot type. I was trying to say I need 60 to 70% of the original 106 for this to be feasible statistically. Trust me, through Fran's help, we got over 100 respondents to the original survey with difficult child's over 17. The deal is that if I go ahead and do this, I will need all of you to "gently" twist arms to get people who do not show up daily to fill it out. It will not take very long (maybe 20 minutes.) The problem is, I do not want to launch another study with one in trouble. I have no idea why we are having problems with the Due Process study--we needed about 10 out of 23 prospects. Doesn't seem risky but now we are stuck. Fortunately, it is LESS important that Due Process people come the CD.com although I would like the parents to have EBD kids. In fact, I'll take anyone who has been to Due Process. So if you know anyone, have them e-mail me at [email]Martie765@aol.com[/email] and they will be contacted so fast it will make their heads spin. The reason I want to do the retrospective study is I want to know--out of all the things everyone tried to do, (in broad categories), what worked for the greatest number of difficult children. I know everyone is an individual, but if one can get the numbers up to 60 or so (100 would be much better) then individual differences begin to wash out and patterns (if present) emerge. This cannot be done with 25 or 30 people. The reason, as I tried to explain above, that this group of parents is unique is that SO MANY THINGS WERE TRIED. Think of it this way: if nothing is tried, then nothing will work. Therefore, conducting this study with a very pro-active group of parents makes sense. The conclusion would be slightly biased towards active intervention, but I can live with that. One cannot really research "doing nothing," which is how parents of EBD kids are portrayed in the literature--oh yes, that and in need of parent training dispensed by your typical 25 year old school staff member. So if everyone who responded here so far could round up 8 to 10 of your nearest and dearest from this site by pm, then there would be enough people to make the study creditable. HOWEVER, you can't all e-mail the same people--LOL--each one only counts once. Think about whether or not this is realistic. It should be--in 30 days, there were over 100 responses in the over 17 age range to a MUCH longer survey. However, I never discount that Fran was on every couple of days on every board telling people to donate 30-40 minutes for the good of our kids. Fran is persuasive...
