NSiGHT depends on our participants and the information you share with us helps us create a more accurate portrayal of adults make health and risk decisions. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort it takes to be a NSiGHT participant and we value the thoughts and comments from every person who participates. Your willingness to report your responses as accurately and honestly as you can is what makes our project a success.

If eligible and complete the Phase 1 Survey, you will be entered in a drawing for a $100 Amazon Gift Card that will be conducted at the end of recruitment. Further, if you are eligible and Phase 2 surveys you could earn additional $60 in Amazon.com gift certificates over the course of 6-months, which will be emailed within 2 weeks of completion of each of the 4 survey (baseline, 1 week, 3 month, 6 month).

There is minimal risk for participating in NSiGHT. The risks associated with participation are primarily related to the sensitivity of some of the questions. You will be asked about thoughts, feelings, and personal difficulties that may be private, as well as behaviors such as alcohol use and gambling. These questions may make you feel uncomfortable or may seem intrusive, or you may become concerned about your drinking or other health behaviors as you answer the questions. In addition, you are asked to report on illegal behaviors, such as drinking or gambling under the legal age. As a participant, you are free to skip over any questions you do not wish to answer.

Your participation is completely confidential. Data will be identified by a PIN randomly generated for research purposes. Your contact information and your study data will be stored in separate locations, but will be linked by your PIN. The PIN is the only way to link your contact information to the data that we collect from you. Only you and the researchers will know the PIN. You will not be identified in any research reports or presentations of this research. Data identified only by the PIN may be shared with other researchers doing similar work on other campuses, and/or be combined with data from other campuses in some research reports. Your name and contact information will be accessible only to research staff for the purposes of contacting you to complete the study, and will be stored separately from your data on computers with password protection and in locked file cabinets. We will retain your name and contact information until the end of the study on or about March 31, 2015. The online session surveys will be completed using a secure server supporting 128-bit encryption, which provides the highest available level of protection for your confidentiality.

Participation in this research is voluntary, and you are free to skip over any questions you do not want to answer or to stop participating at any time. All of your data will be kept confidential.
