Hello!  You have been sent this email because you may be eligible to participate in Youth PREVAIL!

 

Youth PREVAIL is a study examining the role of stress in the symptoms of anxiety and depression in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Queer (LGBQ) adolescents and young adults. Participating in Youth PREVAIL involves completing two online surveys. You can complete Survey 1 by click the link below. We will ask you questions about your mood and how you cope with stress. You will receive $5 for completing Survey 1. About 6 weeks afterward, we will email you a notice to complete Survey 2, which will again ask you about your mood and the stress you have faced since completing Survey 1. You will receive $10 for completing Survey 2, for a total of $15 and entry into a raffle for an iPod Nano.

 

In terms of risk to you, there is some risk that you may experience distress in response to some of the survey questions. You may quit the study at any time. If you have any questions about participation please contact Jordan Simonson at the address below. There are no direct benefits to you for participating in the study.
