Project LAUNCH School Survey



INFORMED CONSENT FORM FOR RESEARCH PARTICIPATION
PROJECT LAUNCH SCHOOL SURVEY*

We are conducting a study to learn about the social and emotional development of children from birth to eight years of age. This study is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). By surveying administrators of selected elementary schools and early childhood education programs, we seek to gain a better understanding of how frequently and why children are suspended and expelled from their schools/programs.

If you choose to participate, you will be asked to fill out a brief survey, which will take 20 minutes to complete the survey and up to 40 minutes to collect information to inform your responses. We plan to conduct this survey annually for two years and hope you will participate in the survey each year.

There are no risks in participating in this research beyond those experienced in everyday life. However, some of the questions are personal and may make you uncomfortable. Your participation in this study is voluntary. You can stop at any time, and you do not have to answer any questions you do not want to answer. Refusal to take part in or withdrawing from this study will not involve any penalty or loss of benefits you would receive otherwise.

Your responses will be kept private to the extent permitted by law. All findings will be reported in aggregate. If there are any publications or presentations resulting from this research, no personally-identifiable information will be shared because your name will not be linked to your answers. If you choose to withdraw from the study, we will maintain and analyze the data collected up to the time of withdrawal. However, if you request that we destroy all of your data and exclude your responses from the study results, we will honor your request.

Please contact Shannon TenBroeck, a member of the evaluation team at NORC, at (415) 315-2006 with questions, complaints, or concerns about this research. If you have any questions about your rights as a research participant, please contact the NORC Institutional Review Board (IRB) Manager by toll-free phone number at (866) 309-0542.
