My name is Rachel Kay, and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Saskatchewan. I am conducting research, under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Briere, on attention and memory. In this study, we are interested in recruiting individuals with an inhibitory/attentional deficit (i.e., ADHD), but anyone can participate. In this study, participants are asked to partake in a variety of different tasks, which includes two memory tasks and a few questionnaires. For more clarification see the consent form attached. Participation will take around 50 minutes.

I am writing to you to ask if you would be able to help us recruit individuals with inhibitory/attentional deficits (i.e., ADHD and ADD) by sending out letters of invitation amongst your organization and/or to individuals that may be interesting in participating. Attached is the recruitment material and a study consent form that will provide plenty of details of the study. The data will be presented in academic settings and may help inform teaching, learning, and testing practices with individuals with inhibitory/attention deficits in the future. Any and all information disclosed in the demographics form and questionnaires, as well as any communication with the researchers via email, will be anonymous.

If you are interested in helping and would like to support our recruitment efforts, I would be more than happy to send further information or answer any questions. I will follow up in 5 days, but feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you for your time,
