Confidentiality
The information you provide will be confidential and though we collect demographic information, nothing in the surveys can be used to identify you. However, if you choose to enter the raffle upon completion of the survey, we do need to collect an email address to contact you in the event that you win. This is the only identifying information we will collect, we will only contact you if you win, and then only to provide you with the $50 gift card. Your email will be collected and stored separately from your survey responses, including demographic data, at all times. Your email will be deleted immediately after all winners have been provided their prizes. Therefore, your responses will be anonymous. Due to the anonymity of your responses, it will not be possible for you to be identified in any reports or publications that are produced from this study; results will only be reported in the aggregate. Records will be kept confidential to the extent provided by federal, state, and local law. However, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or university and government officials responsible for monitoring this study may inspect the records.
The confidential survey will be hosted through SurveyMonkey, and your responses will not be accessible to any of the individuals or organizations who informed you about the study.
