Congratulations on being a participant in UCNets-LGBT. We think you will find the interviews to be interesting, and will allow you to think about the people you know in expansive ways, adding both insight and appreciation.
Because your privacy is of utmost importance to us, we are providing here the ‘Informed Consent’ documents which outline our commitment to you, and your rights as a study participant.
1. Informed Consent for the screener survey (to see if you qualify for the survey) (English / Spanish)
2. Informed Consent for the main survey (English / Spanish)
If you need to let us know about a change of address or need help with the web survey, call the toll-free number 877-932-0614.
- There will be 3 waves of interviewing, beginning in Spring 2016.
- We are interviewing people aged 50-70.
- Surveys will be web surveys.
- Each interview will take about an hour.
- You do not have to answer all questions, although the more you do, the better the quality of the data.
- We seek people who are committed for the entire 3 waves, but if for some reason a participant cannot continue, they are certainly free to do so.
- After completing each of the three surveys, you will receive a check as a way of our thanking you for your time.
- We will do our best to keep in touch with you in between the waves and let you know about research reports that you can read. (And of course, none of your personal information will be shared or identifiable in any way!).
