Are you trying to sell me something?
No! We will not try to sell you anything if you choose to take this survey. We will also never sell or give away your identifying information.
How will you protect my privacy?
All information we collect will remain confidential. Your personal information, such as your name, school, and email address, will not be associated with your answers. Participation in this survey is voluntary.
Who will see my responses?
Responses to questions with predetermined response categories will be tabulated and reported only in the aggregate, as percentages, combined with those of all other participants. Responses to open-ended questions may be quoted, without any personally identifying information.
Will participating in this research sign me up for future studies?
No. Consenting and participating in this study does not sign you up for future studies. Participation is completely voluntary, and your responses are confidential.
