regarding recruitment for the study. If you would like additional information or know of potential participants, please contact Katie at 310-748-9516 or
<a href="mailto:anthokat@onid.orst.edu">anthokat@onid.orst.edu</a> The researchers plan to begin scheduling participant interviews at the end of August and to conduct interviews in September, October, and November. Recruitment flyers will be available soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
