There are no known risks from being in this study, and you will not benefit personally. However,

we hope that others may benefit in the future from what we learn as a result of this study.

[Add below if you are conducting internet surveys]

All survey responses that we receive will be treated confidentially and stored on a secure server

[only state if

accurate]. However, given that the surveys can be completed from any computer

(e.g., personal, work, school), we are unable to guarantee the security of the computer on which

you choose to enter your responses. As a participant in our study, we want you to be aware that

certain "key logging" software programs exist that can be used to track or capture data that you

enter and/or websites that you visit.

Your participation in this research study is completely voluntary. If you decide not to be in this

study, or if you stop participating at any time, you will not be penalized or lose any benefits for

which you are otherwise entitled.

If you have any questions, concerns or complaints now or later, you may contact us at the

concerns or wish to talk to someone who is independent of the research, contact the Office for

Human Subjects Protections at 605/677-6184. Thank you for your time.
