Privacy and Confidentiality
This survey will ask you for some general demographic information (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity). However, no personal information, such as your name, will be collected. Your identity will not be linked to your responses. We will be very careful to only let people working on the study see your responses, which will not be linked back to any personal information that can be used to identify you. Your information will be kept private to the extent allowed by law.
Possible Risks or Discomforts
We do not expect any of the survey questions will make you uncomfortable or upset; however, if they do, you can refuse to answer a question. If you skip a question, you can still continue with the rest of the survey. While we will be very careful to let only members of the research team see your information, there is a small risk that others might find out what you say, despite all of our best efforts. In the case of a breach of confidentiality, appropriate steps will be taken to notify participants.
