**Call for Research Participants**

Hello friends and colleagues,

We (Karen Washington and Helen Wyatt) are seeking participants in our IRB-approved study (Adler University IRB Protocol 21-014). We are seeking ova-having individuals suffering from an autoimmune disorder (AD) and painful sexual experiences to give their voices and unique experiences space to be heard.

Please help us find participants for our study. The first 40 participants will be offered a $25 incentive for participation, which will be delivered to them via Gift Card or Cash App (the choice of delivery will be offered to participants upon completion of their interview). Please see this flyer for more details.

As a participant, you will be asked questions about your physical health, your sexual experiences, your medical healthcare experiences, and resources and treatment available to you. Interviews are anticipated to last approximately one hour; we also understand collecting your personal story may require more time so with permission from the participant, the investigator may wish to schedule additional time to continue collecting information you are willing to share.  Please consider participating in our research to add your unique story to the psychological base of information. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom from private office space to maintain participant confidentiality and meet the CDC and WHO recommendations for COVID-19.

If you are willing to participate in our study, please reach out to our investigators via email.
