These are some things we want to tell you about research studies:

We are asking you to be in a research study. Research is a way to test new ideas. Research helps us learn new things.


What is the study about?

We want to know what you think about a video game we made. We want to know if you think it would be fun to play. We will show you a part of the game and talk about what it teaches. It is about clinical studies. We will ask you what you think about the game and the characters.


What will happen during this study?

You can tell us what you like about the game. You can tell us what you do not like about the game. If you don’t want to say anything, you don’t have to.


If you want to be in the group you will learn about the game. You will talk about the game. We will ask what you like and don’t like about the game. We will ask you what will make the game better.


For being part of the group you will get a $25 gift card. You can leave the group at any time. You will still get the gift card if you stay for at least one hour.


Will my comments be shared?

The other kids in the group will hear what you say. We will ask everyone in the group to keep what we say private. We will record the group so that we know what the group said later. We need to remember what the group said. We ask the group not to talk about what other people in the group say, but we can’t promise that they will not. We will use code names like Person A and Person B in reports about the group. We will not use your real name.


How long is the study?

The group will meet for about one and a half hours.

Who should I ask if I have any questions?

We will answer your questions. You can decide after you ask questions.


What if I don’t want to be in this study?

Your parents/guardians have said it is okay for you to be in this group. It is still up to you. Whatever you say is okay. It is okay to check No!


If you don’t want to be in this group – check No. Remember, being in the group is up to you. If you do not want to do it, no one will be mad at you. You can change your mind and stop whenever you want.


Nothing you do in this group will be part of your school grades or your medical care.


Now that I have asked my questions and think I know about the study, here is what I decided:


_________Okay, I will be in the focus group.


_________ No, I do not want to be in the focus group.


The researchers have told me about the video game focus group. I had a chance to ask questions. I know I can ask questions at any time. I want to be in the video game focus group.
