We are asking you to complete this survey because you are a participant in a program for girls. This survey asks your thoughts, your behaviors and knowledge about health.

Please answer these questions based on what you think and feel, as honestly as possible. Your information will help us learn what parts of the program work best for girls and what can be done better.

Your answers will be kept private. Do not write your name anywhere on the survey. You will be asked to create a special code that you will use on all surveys. GEARS, Inc is the company that will handle all of the surveys. Your answers are private to the extent permitted by law.
