We are inviting you to take part in a research study. This will involve completing a web-based survey that asks questions about your knowledge and attitudes about consuming alcohol. It should take you about 10–12 minutes to complete. This study is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

There are neither risks nor benefits to you taking part in this survey. Any compensation you receive is a small token to thank you for taking part, if you choose to do so.

Your participation is voluntary. This means that you are free to choose not to take part or to skip certain questions. There is no penalty if you choose not to respond. However, your complete participation will help enhance messages and materials for adult drinkers. It is important that as many adults respond to this survey as possible so that the information we get is complete.
