Subject: Seeking Participants for a Survey About Work Injuries - Reminder

Dear BCBA Certificant,

I am a researcher at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and our Behavior Analysis Research Team is conducting research on the work experiences of applied behavior analysis workers. If you have already completed the survey, please disregard this email.

You are receiving this email because you have a BACB credential (RBT, BCaBA, BCBA, or BCBA-D). You are invited to participate in a short, web-based survey that will collect information on the injuries you might have experienced while working. We are collecting this information so that we can see if applied behavior analysis workers get injured more or less frequently than other types of workers and, in the future, use the data to improve working conditions and reduce injuries.

The survey contains questions about your workplace, the injuries you may have sustained in the past 12 months, and personal protective equipment you use. Your responses to the survey are anonymous. We will not use the survey to identify you. Even though your responses will not be able to identify you, we will treat your data in a secure manner and will not disclose the information unless otherwise compelled by law.

Completing this survey is voluntary and refusing to participate will not involve any penalty. You may skip questions or stop answering questions at any time. You will not receive any compensation for completing the survey. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this survey.
