T.E.A.R. Study Open Data Collection Phase II
Thank you for your interest in the T.E.A.R. Study! Phase II has now launched!
Let your voice be heard! This is Phase II of the TEAR Study! We are collecting data from all bereaved parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, and friends!
We are a team of researchers from Arizona State University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Austin College. We are exploring the experiences of those aged 18 and older who have experienced the death of a child. The second wave of the study will explore the experiences of those who have experienced the deaths of other significant people such as partners, parents, siblings, grandchildren, and others.
The purpose of this study is to determine the individual, familial, and societal effects of significant loss and to improve standards of care to the bereaved and a model of compassionate caregiving and intervention that fosters resiliency at every level.
