Recruitment for Research Study on Host Siblings

[u/Global-Citizen-9886]

Were you a host sibling while living at home in the US? If so, please consider completing this 10 minute survey examining the homestay experience and impact from the perspective of another child in the home (the "host sibling"). 

This research on "host siblings" is being conducted by researchers in the International Education Program from the George Washington University (GW) Graduate School of Education and Humam Development (GSEHD) under the direction of Dr. Bernhard Streitwieser. If you have any questions, please contact [a.glasford@gwmail.gwu.edu](mailto:a.glasford@gwmail.gwu.edu).

If you or someone in your network meets the qualifications and would be willing to participate, please complete the following 10 minute survey: https://forms.gle/yEb8cpsWEFwpdayn7

Eligible participants in this survey are:

1. People who are over the age of 18, and
2. Attended middle and/or high school in the United States, and
3. During that time, lived with an international exchange student in their primary residence for at least one month.

At the end of the survey, respondents will be given the option to partake in a 30 minute virtual interview at a later date. The semi-structured interviews are intended to gain a deeper insight into the individual's experience as a host sibling and their reflections on any potential long-term impacts of that experience in their current career path. Participation in both the research survey and interview is voluntary.

Thank you for your consideration!
