Welcome to the NextUp Survey!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is developing education programs that aim to improve the health of young adults.

To inform these education programs, the FDA is conducting a survey in partnership with RTI International, a non-profit research organization.

• The purpose of this research study is to assess young adults’ health beliefs and behaviors.

• You are being asked to answer a few questions to see if you are eligible for a study of approximately 1,500 young adults in the United States.

• You may only complete this questionnaire one time.

• It will only take about 3 minutes to see if you are eligible.

• If we determine you are eligible, you will have the opportunity to continue and complete an additional online survey for a $5 Amazon digital gift card.

• You may only take the additional online survey one time and you will only receive one $5 Amazon digital gift card if you complete it. If we find that you have completed the survey more than once, you may not receive a gift card. Once we complete this check, we will send you a $5 Amazon digital gift card to the email address you provide. The gift card will be sent within 1-2 weeks.

• Your answers to the questions will be kept private to the fullest extent allowable by law and your participation is voluntary. If you do not want to answer a question, you may stop the survey at any time. Please read our privacy policy before continuing.

• If you have any questions about the survey, you can contact us at [email protected].
