Tpa Personal Statement Examples

After graduating from the University of South Carolina with my Bachelor’s degree in Experimental Psychology, I was hired by Dr. Ron Prinz and his colleagues to work full-time on the Triple P in Action Study (TPAS). TPAS is a study aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of the Triple P parenting program in comparison with an in-person delivered version and an online version. This program is for families with a 3-7 year old child with clinically significant behavioral difficulties.
