•Thank you for your interest in the eating behavior survey! This survey takes about 30 minutes to
finish. Virginia Quick, RD, from
Rutgers University, along with
Stefano Gunadalini, MD, from the University of Chicago, have undertaken a
research project investigating the eating behavior of young adults. Your participation in completing this survey
for our research study will help us understand eating behaviors in young adults. You
will be asked questions regarding your demographics (e.g., age, gender,
ethnicity, religion, height, weight, and health status); eating practices, and questions that assess
psychological, body image, family and social environment, and intrapersonal
factors. Information on your name, email address, and phone
numbers will be collected as part of the study so that we may contact you if
you win one of ten $25 America
Express gift cards. You may receive no
direct benefit from participating in this study. We are hoping that approximately 2,500 young adults will participate in
this study in total, with 400 from the University of Chicago.
•Participation is voluntary, free of charge, and poses minimal risk. You may stop participating at any time
and/or choose to not answer questions
with which you are not comfortable. If
you choose not to participate, there will be no penalty or loss of benefits to
which you are otherwise
entitled to. All information you
provide will be kept confidential and stored in a secure location. Only the research team, made up of Dr. Guandalini, Ginger Quick, RD, and Carol
Byrd-Bredbenner, PhD, RD, along with the Institutional Review Boards at
Rutgers University and the
University of Chicago will be permitted to see the information you provide,
except as may be required by law. At
the end of the study, we will
destroy all records associated with it.
Reports about this project will not include any identifying information
about you. All study data will be kept secure until the study ends
in 5 years. This study involves the
potential risk of a loss of confidentiality in the case that our files are stolen, but we will take precautions
to ensure that your data is kept confidential. All of the participant’s
personal information will be kept
separate from the survey data by placing identity codes for each participant.
These identity codes and survey responses will be saved in files on a secured computer. Ginger Quick, RD, will be the only one with
access to them via a secured username and password.
•Those who complete the
survey will be entered into a raffle to win 1 of 10 $25 prizes, in the form of
an American Express gift card.
