AA1L. Research and Evaluation Survey for the Public Education Campaign on Tobacco among LGBT (RESPECT LGBT):

Thank you for your continued interest in this study. The RESPECT LGBT survey asks young LGBT adults, ages 18-26, about opinions and behaviors related to tobacco, use of media and about their LGBT identity. The survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. We are conducting the study again to see what has changed and what has stayed the same. About 3,500 people in 24 cities across the United States will take this survey this [FILL: fall/spring/summer].

Sponsor: This study is sponsored by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products (FDA-CTP). RTI International, a not-for-profit research organization, is conducting the study on the behalf of the FDA-CTP.

Financial Considerations: Within three business days of completing the survey you will receive an email offering you the choice of one of over 50 $20 electronic gift cards as a thank you for your participation. If you complete this survey within 48 hours of receiving the initial email invitation you will be offered an additional $5, for a total of $25.

Voluntary Participation: Your participation is completely voluntary. You can refuse to answer any and all questions. You can stop participation at any time.

Confidentiality: The protection of personal information is a primary concern to all institutions involved in this project. All members of the research team receive confidentiality training. Your answers to the survey questions will be kept private to the fullest extent allowable by law. Only we or other researchers involved in this project will have access to the answers you provide. Your name or email address will not be reported with any answers you provide. Your answers will be combined with answers of many others and reported in a summary form. All staff involved in this research are committed to confidentiality and have signed a Confidentiality Pledge. To help us ensure your answers are kept confidential and private, please complete the survey in a place where no one can look over your shoulder and view your answers. In addition, as is the case with all information transmitted online there is a possibility of a breach of confidentiality due to third parties illegally intercepting content. Your answers to questions will not be stored with any personally identifying information and will not be able to be connected with your identity by third parties.

Possible Benefits and Risks: There are no direct benefits to you for participating in this study. It is possible that some questions might make you feel mildly uncomfortable, but you can skip those if you choose.

Future Contacts: To help us understand changes over time, we may contact you in the future to invite you to participate in this study again. Each of these additional surveys will also be completely voluntary and you will be offered $20 for your participation.

Further Questions: If you have any questions about the research now or in the future you can contact respect@rti.org or call the Project toll free number 1-800-848-4072.
