HOW WILL MY CONFIDENTIALITY BE PROTECTED?
If you choose to participate, your responses will be completely confidential. Neither your name nor any other identifiable information will be recorded. When the survey is successfully completed, you will have the option to click on a link and sign up for a $20 Target Gift Card. In order to receive the gift card, you will be asked to provide a name and mailing address, but this information is separate from the responses you will provide in the survey, so your answers will still remain confidential. In addition, your contact information will be kept in secure login and password protected web account until all gift cards are sent out. The dataset will be managed and used only by the investigator and co-investigator of this study. Only group information and aggregated results will be included in any reports from the study.
WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
You may ask any questions about the research at any time. If you have questions about the research, you should contact either the principal investigator (Professor Fong Chan) or student researcher (Ms Connie Sung) at the phone numbers or email addresses above. If you are not satisfied with any responses from the research team, have more questions, or want to talk with someone about your rights as a research participant you should contact the Education Research and Social & Behavioral Science Institutional Review Board (IRB) Office at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (608-263-2320; ormangelli@LS.Admin.wisc.edu). If it is inconvenient to make these phone or email contacts, please contact the EF office, and they will get word to us to contact you. If you have any question about your health problems or mental health concerns, please contact your health professional consultants or others as suggested in the resource list.
Again, your participation is completely voluntary and confidential. If you decide not to participate or to withdraw from the study, it will have no effect on any services or treatment you are currently receiving or are entitled to. If you choose to participate, please proceed to the survey. Your completed online survey will indicate that you have read and understand the description of what you are being asked to do. And, you voluntarily consent to participate in this research study.
Thank you very much for your time and participation in this study!
Sincerely,
Connie Sung, M.Phil.
