Dear Dr. Johnson,

My name is Nam Phuong, Hoang, I am a student under the New Zealand Asian Scholarship from Vietnam and I am now doing a Master's Degree in Psychology at Massey University in New Zealand under the supervision of Dr. Paul Merrick (email: [email protected]), who is the Associate Professor at school of Psychology, Albany Campus.

I have read your publications on the DBSI and think that your work is really gorgeous and I really want to use the DBSI as the main measure for my thesis of which, the topic is " Family social support and Parenting Stress in families of Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder: A Vietnamese context",

As my study will be conducted in Vietnam, I would like to ask you and Dr. Reader for the permission to translate and adapt your scale into Vietnamese and use it.

I will be very appreciate if you two can allow me to use your scale in my study as this scale is the most appropriate for the ADHD population.

Attached here is my Research proposal. If you need any further information regard this request, please do not feel hesitate to contact me or my supervisor.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon. Yours sincerely,

Nam Phuong

This looks like an interesting study and you have my permission to translate the DBSI into Vietnamese and use it for this specific research study.

I would ask that you send me a copy of the translated version as well as a copy of your research finding from your study when it is completed.

Best of luck in your studies and in conducting your study.

APPENDIX D. 2: Email correspondence regarding the change of project tittle

Dear Merle,

I am April, student in Psychology major under the supervision of Professor Paul Merrick. A couple of months ago, I got the Ethic approval for the thesis name "Family social support and parenting stress in family of children with ADHD: A Vietnamese context"

Today I write you as I have one question that need your advice. Hope that you can help me. As I went with my thesis, I came to realize that my thesis tittle is quite long and general, I want to adjust it a little (just the title, not the content of study) so that it could better express my thesis. I have not come up with the final decision yet, but the change will not be major, it may be just like changing from family social support and parenting stress to: "Parenting stress and social support. and rather than "a vietnamese context", I want to make it shorter by: " family of children with ADHD in Vietnam"

With this change, I am wondering if I need to seek for the approval from Ethic committee and if so, what should I do?

I am sorry for the problem.

Hope to hear from you and wishing you a good day, Yours sincerely,

April

If the content of your application has not changed in any way other than the project title, you just need to send me an email confirming this and giving me the new Title. This will be put on your file.
