Social Connection and Wellbeing: A study of Evryman’s 6-Week Online Program
Evryman and an independent research team (Dr. Ellen Choi, Tyler Hudson, and Dr. Allen Sabey) are inviting approximately men enrolled in the Foundations Program to participate in a study on the effects of Evryman’s 6-week online program.
The purpose of this study is to examine how the online training experience impacts attitudes, wellbeing, and relationships.
What you will be asked to do:
You will be asked to complete 2 online surveys that ask questions about your demographics, attitudes and behaviors. Each survey takes approximately 25 minutes to complete and you will be asked to complete the survey before training, and after training. We also ask that you complete a 30 minute interview with a member of the research team after the training has finished.
Additionally, we ask that you invite one or two people you know well to be interviewed so that we can better understand whether any transformation from the training is detectable by others. These interviews will also be approximately 30 minutes.

Incentives: Participants that complete all research surveys will be entered into a draw to win 3 private coaching sessions with one of the founders of Evryman.
If the whole group participates in this research, they will all be gifted an annual membership to Evryman.
The person/people that you invite to be interviewed will be entered into a draw to win a $100 USD Amazon gift card. Winning participants will receive their gift card through their email address at the end of this study.
If you withdraw from the study, you may still continue in the Evryman training program.
Eligibility: To be eligible for this study, you must identify as male, be enrolled in Evryman’s 6-week online program, be over 19-years old, and be fluent in English.

Other information: You will be asked to identify yourself for the purposes of coordinating your surveys and to distribute the incentives. After all incentives have been distributed, we will delete all personal identifying information and the information we save for research purposes will be completely anonymous. In other words, your survey responses will not be attributable to you.
More about the Evryman Program: Why is “emotional expression” important for guys?The EVRYMAN philosophy has answered that question by helping hundreds of men connect to each other and lead more successful, fulfilling lives. Using a science-based interactive curriculum that can be practiced individually and in a group of likeminded men—some call it “emotional CrossFit"— the EVRYMAN approach works to set aside cultural norms. Through somatic mindfulness, meditation, and most of all, the support and perspectives of other guys near and far, learn the tools and benefits of emotional expression and how to use them in everyday interactions, difficult conversations, and decision making.
Join a community of other men for weekly live webinars and small group meetings to apply and practice learnings. Foster relaxed confidence and build a consistent approach to life that derives from deep self-knowledge and authenticity in the way you acknowledge and express your feelings.
