Dear Student:
I am currently conducting a research project for a course in Advanced Research Methods and Statistics at Illinois College. My research involves a study of various behaviors college students engage in including, but not limited to: internet use, social media use, socialization with peers, exercise, and pornography use.
I would like your permission to participate in this study by responding to a short survey. Your permission allows me to understand your views, ideas and perspectives on this topic.
Please be advised that all information gathered from this survey will be kept completely confidential. In addition, information from this survey that I include in any written work will be discussed in such a way that no individual can be identified.
Also, please note that your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and that you may choose not to complete the survey once you have begun. If at any time you experience emotional distress, feel free to contact Illinois College’s Templeton Counseling Center at 217-245-3038 or the resources available at your .
If you have any questions or would like further information about this project, please contact my professor, Dr. T. Caitlin Vasquez-O’Brien at: 217-245-3000, or via e‑mail at: tcvobrien@ic.edu. If you agree to participate in this survey, please give your electronic signature on the next page. Thank you in advance for your participation and willingness to help me investigate this topic.
