This is very interesting. I think we all have an intuitive understanding of the relationship between childhood experiences and attachment styles in relationships (intimate ones especially) but some actual data on this would be good to see.

How long us the study running for and when would the results be ready?
 
Really interesting research topic. Where can I find the link to participate? Feel free to send me a personal message anytime.
 
Some confusing questions eg

I made my partner have sex without a condom - specify number of times

That would be normal in a committed long term relationship using other methods of birth control. Is this aimed at young people? It appears within an extensive and repetitive list of questions about violence and abuse in a relationship.

Also some double negatives that need to be thought about.

People with domestic violence traumas might want to approach this with caution.
 
Will you be sharing the results with us?
A report will be available at the end of the study (approximately september 2017). However, since the survey is anonymous, we cannot provide you with the results. If you are intersted you can contact the principal investigator (contacts are given in the survey).

People with domestic violence traumas might want to approach this with caution...

We understand that this questionnaire contains questions of intimate nature, so participation in the study might cause distress or arouse negative feelings. In this case - if you experience any negative feelings in response to the questionnaires or have any further questions related to the content of the questions - you will find the contact of the principle investigator, a trained clinical psychologist with expertise in the topic (childhood trauma, interpersonal partner violence) in the debriefing of the study.
