ATTENTION: STUDY ON AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES
I am inviting you to be a participant in an online study which investigates the linkages, if any, that exist between Black men’s constructions of what it means to be a man and their spiritual/religious affiliations. It is my belief that a clearer understanding of this relationship will provide useful data of the efficacy of the religious community in responding to this social crisis.
If you are an African American Male age 18 and above who would be willing to participate in this study, click on the link below to access the survey:
I would greatly appreciate your participation in this survey which will take a few minutes of your time. Please note that all responses will be anonymous as the survey is being administered through an independent software provider. I look forward to your participation.
Sincerely,
Kathy-ann C. Hernandez, Ph.D.

Aristotle has said, "We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit." I firmly believe that we are
called upon to live a life of excellent service to God and our fellowmen. The
pursuit of excellence should be our life calling -- this pursuit is our muscle
builder; it develops character and forces us to press ever onward towards our highest
potential.
