You are invited to be in a research project at the OSLC Developments Inc. (ODI). ODI and its partner organization, Oregon Social Learning Center (OSLC), are private, nonprofit organizations in Eugene, Oregon. OSLC and ODI have been doing research and therapy with families since 1977.


We are conducting a survey of school administrators across the state of Washington to help in a bigger project to understand drowning rates, drowning disparities, and drowning prevention efforts. We’re hoping to get your input as we work with the state governor’s office to develop water safety curriculum. We value your feedback since you’re on the front lines working with teachers and children/youth in your school.

The 10-20 minute online survey will allow you a chance to weigh in and tell us whether you currently implement drowning curriculum, whether you have any interest in state supported drowning curriculum in your school, and any water safety concerns you may (or may not) have in your community. Your feedback is valuable and we appreciate the time you take to complete the survey. Upon completion of the survey, you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of six $50 Amazon gift cards.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Miriam Clark, PhD who is the principle investigator of the project. She is a Research Scientist at OSLC Developments, Inc and has partnered with two nonprofit organizations (No More Under and Safe States Alliance) for this research study.
