Risks & Benefits:  You will be paid a small amount of money for completing this questionnaire.

We will ask for your address and email address so that we can ask you a few more questions in a few months.  This questionnaire will be stored separately from your personal information so that no one will know your answers to the questionnaire.  This data will be kept in a locked file by Dr. Ripley’s research team at Regent University.  The results of the study will be communicated in professional forums like conferences, but your identity will not be revealed.
