Attachment D: Instrument Preamble (Informed Consent)


Thank you for taking time to learn about this survey today! This survey is being conducted by researchers at the Urban Institute, a nonprofit research organization in Washington D.C, as part of a study funded through a contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This study is being led by Dr. Diane Schilder at the Urban Institute.

 

  1. Your participation in the survey is completely voluntary. 

  2. Your decision to participate in this study will not affect any services you may be receiving or your eligibility to receive funding from ACF. 

  3. We will never inform anyone outside of this study’s research team about your choice to participate in the study. 

  4. All the answers you give are kept strictly private.

  5. We will combine the answers you provide with information from other EHS programs and report the information in summary form. Publications will not identify respondents or EHS grant recipients by name.

  6. Because all answers are private there are no legal risks to participating. Your answers will be linked to your program’s most recent Program Information Report. Your information and position are listed in the Program Information Report. The Program Information Report can be accessed by the public. Thus, we cannot promise that your participation in this research will be kept private. We believe any such risk is small due to the large, nationwide sample of EHS grant recipients invited to participate in this survey.

  7. Your program will not directly benefit from completing the survey. Potential indirect benefits of participating in this study include making an important contribution to the understanding of how EHS programs recruit, provide professional development, and support training of staff.

  8. The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete. 

  9. You may skip any question you do not wish to answer without penalty, and you may end the survey at any time without penalty. 

  10. The information learned from the survey may be archived. These files, as part of the archive, will not include any names or quote anyone personally and the data will be modified to minimize the risk of you or your program being identified from the data. These files will only be available under restricted access.

Please click “Yes” to enter the survey. Remember you can fill out part of the survey now and use the same link to come back later if needed.

Please click “No” if you do not agree to participate in the survey. You will be exited from the survey.
