AdvocateWeb is pleased to cooperate with legitimate researchers
who are exploring the experiences of people who have been sexually
and emotionally exploited by professionals, such as
psychotherapists, clergy, teachers, and others in positions of
power, as a way of furthering understanding of this issue.
ADVOCATEWEB NEITHER ENDORSES NOR SUPPORTS ANY RESEARCH PROJECT,
NOR DOES IT TAKE A POSITION ON THE QUALITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY
RESEARCH OR ITS OUTCOMES. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATEWEB CANNOT GUARANTEE
THE LEGITIMACY OF ANY RESEARCHER OR IN ANY WAY CONTROL THE FINDINGS
OF A RESEARCH PROJECT OR HOW THOSE FINDINGS WILL BE USED.
Researchers who wish to post requests for human subjects for
their research must state the nature and purpose of their research

your data with that of others, etc.)
- Who will comprise the
