Informed Consent Form
In this presentation we will be asking some questions about your attitudes and personal use of alcohol. We will also ask you questions about what you think is typical among students at HWS. All of these responses will be anonymous. No individual response will be identified. We will share with you distributions of question responses from this group and from surveys of the campus at large during this presentation. Your participation in answering these questions is voluntary. You may skip any questions that you do not wish to answer. If you are under the age of 18 you should not answer the survey questions. Data from this session will be saved and merged with data from other residential hall sessions to support research on this topic. We will send summary posters of the merged results to your RA to share before the end of the term.
