EMAIL FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY

Thank you for answering our questions. We would like you to participate in our Online Bulletin Board. This will be a single Bulletin Board taking place over the course of three days next week that engages a group of participants, like you, from all over the country, to discuss and react to various topics and issues. This is a research study and in no way a sales effort of any kind! We are only interested in your candid opinions. The discussion will be led by an independent moderator.

During an Online Bulletin Board, a group of participants interact with one of our discussion leaders and share opinions and reactions regarding a variety of issues, activities and items. During some points in the Bulletin Board, there are questions that are shared, meaning you will be able to view others’ responses and they will be able to view yours. As privacy is very important to us, please know that you will not be personally identified – you will be known only by a ‘screen name’ that you can make up (typically most use their first name and last initial, but this can be any reasonable name).

Your input and insight will help us explore some new areas of thought and aid in problem solving. If you qualify and participate in the study, we would like to offer you $75 as a token of our thanks for your time.

You join this confidential discussion series as an anonymous member and will not need to share any personally identifying information as part of this process. Your name will never be associated with your opinions and our findings are reported in the aggregate. We only confirm your contact information in order to send you the registration and log in instructions and in order to send your honorarium payment to an address of your choice. Again, you will receive $75 in appreciation for your time.

To be part of this online research, you will need to log on to the discussion website at least once a day on XXXXXX XX^th, XXXXXX XX^th and XXXXXX XX^th and spend at least 15-20 minutes each of those days in the discussion. You choose the time of day or night that is most convenient for you.
