Referrals for Support Services Due to Discomfort from Your Study

  • Permissions are required if you are referring participants to support services because of discomfort they may experience in your study.
  • If you are referring participants to the University’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), check with the staff and provide information on your study.
  • If you are not referring participants to CAPS, a minimum of 3 outside referrals are required.
  • National hotlines typically do not require permissions, but more local counseling services (e.g. CAPS) usually do.
