Hello:
You are being asked to participate in a research project being conducted by Dr. Laurel Sharmer of the Community Health Department of SUNY Potsdam and Kristy Primeau, a student of the SUNY Potsdam Honors Scholar As Citizen class of Spring, 2002. The purpose of this study is to survey the individual’s views on and access to Medical Insurance and the U.S. Health Care System.
The information used in this study will be obtained by your answers and the answers of other participants to a few questions pertaining to this topic. The questions you will be asked to answer should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete at most. Your answers to these questions will be kept confidential and none of the information gathered in this study will be used to describe any one individual or his/her family. Additionally, you may drop out of the survey at any time if you feel that you do not want to continue to answer the questions.
The survey will be administered using an Internet form, which provides complete anonymity to all participants. In addition, personal e-mail addresses will also remain anonymous.
This study, which has been approved by SUNY Potsdam's President and the Institutional Review Board, is similar in design to many other studies of this type. Approval by the College President and Institutional Review Board attests that appropriate safeguards, which protect human subjects, have been included in the research design. The approval does not imply college endorsement of the content of the research or conclusions that might be drawn from the project. The study involves no risk to the people who choose to participate.
Any questions you have about the study will gladly be answered prior to your participation. You can call Dr. Laurel Sharmer at (315) 267-3136 if you wish to know more about the study; or you may e-mail Kristy Primeau at: primea96@potsdam.edu.
