Thank you.
Dear SURVEY PARTICIPANT:
I, Leah Alsaker, am
conducting a research project entitled "Creative Coping with Chronic Pain"
as part of an honors independent study project at South Dakota State
University. The purpose of the study is to research and examine the possible
use of writing and literature as a coping device for those who suffer from
chronic pain.
You, as a member of the
chronic pain community are invited to participate in the study by completing
this online survey. This survey is open to participants 18 years of age or
older. I realize that your time is valuable and have attempted to keep the
requested information as brief and concise as possible. It will take you
approximately 5-10 minutes of your time. Your participation in this project is
voluntary. You may withdraw from the study at any time without consequence or
skip any questions that you do not wish to answer.
There is a slight
psychological risk to you for participating in this study, as some of the
questions may lead you to remember a time in which you felt isolated or
misunderstood. While there are no direct benefits to you for completing your
survey, this survey will add to the basis of information regarding coping with
chronic pain, potentially helping the chronic pain community in the future.
Your responses are
strictly confidential. When the data and analysis are presented, you will not
be linked to the data by your name, title or any other identifying item.
Please assist me in my
research by clicking submit if you decide to complete this survey.
Your consent is implied
by the submission of this completed survey. You may want to copy and paste this
consent form into a document for your own personal reference. If you have any
questions, now or later, you may e-mail me at leah.alsaker@jacks.sdstate.edu,
or call me at the number below. Thank you very much for your time and
assistance. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research
participant in this study, you may contact the SDSU Research Compliance
Coordinator at 605-688-6975, SDSU.IRB@sdstate.edu.
