What are we trying to find out in this study?
Before you decide to participate in this study, it is important that you understand why the research is being done and what it will involve. Your participation in this research study is voluntary. To date, no study has examined social work students’ support of reparations as a nationally endorsed social justice issue for the profession. Therefore, you are asked to participate in this study because we are interested in measuring social work students’ awareness and attitudes about reparations for African American descendants of chattel slavery.
Who can participate in this study?
You meet criteria for this survey if you are 18 years of age or older; are enrolled as a student in a social work program (BSW, MSW, DSW, or PhD); and are able to speak or read English well enough to complete survey.
Where will this study take place?
This is a self-administered online survey delivered via QuestionPro.
What is the time commitment for participating in this study?
The survey should take no more than 10 minutes.
What will you be asked to do if you choose to participate in this study?
You will complete an online questionnaire. The first series of questions you will answer pertain to demographic information, such as age and numbers of years in the profession. The second series of questions inquire about your awareness and support of reparations for African American descendants of chattel slavery.
What are the risks of participating in this study and how will these risks be minimized?
This research poses no more than minimal risks. The foreseeable risk for participants is emotional discomfort because of the sensitive topic. You have the option to discontinue the study at any point. You may also contact the investigators to inquire about mental health resources in your area to help address any distress.

This research weighs on a current issue and can offer an estimation of Americans’ impression and feelings about this timely topic.
