Parent Consent Student Assent - Survey

[DISTRIBUTED IN INFORMATION PACKETS TO EACH STUDENT]

National Institute on Drug Abuse

Permission Form

I hereby give my consent to my child, __________________________________, to participate in National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) study -- Customer Feedback Information for the NIDA PEERx Videos--, that will use a web-based survey administered during the school day. The survey will be conducted by NIDA’s Contractor, Strategic Research Associates of Spokane, Washington. The survey asks for students’ opinions of the NIDA PEERx Videos (http://teens.drugabuse.gov), a government resource for students on prescription drugs misuse. The purpose of the survey is to collect information that the National Institute on Drug Abuse will use to evaluate and improve the videos and their message.

The survey will also ask students if they are interested in participating in a focus group discussion of the videos, (to be conducted at some later time), and to provide a parent first name and home phone number for later contact. If your student is interested the Contractor will contact you for your consent and to conduct a screening process with your student for inclusion in the study.

I understand and agree that the results from the study will be aggregated in analysis by the Contractor, so there will be no identification of students in the results, and will become the property of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. I also understand that my child’s name or any other identifying information will not be used or revealed in any way, nor provided to NIDA, and that there will be no harm to my child from participation in this survey.
