Where does the study take place?
The first appointment will take place on the University of Southern Mississippi campus in Hattiesburg, MS. The two follow up appointments can take place on campus or over the phone depending on your availability.
|
How long will the study take?
The first appointment takes about 2 hours and each of the two follow up appointments take about one hour each, for a total of 4 hours of time spread out over 6 months.
|
What do I have to do?
During this study, you will fill out some surveys and talk with a graduate student clinician about a randomly selected health and safety topic.
|
How do I receive payment for participation?
After each session you will receive an Amazon gift card code. After the first session (which takes place in-person), you will receive a gift card code for $50 to Amazon. Following the second and third sessions (which can take place in-person or over the phone), you will receive gift card codes for $75 to Amazon. If you complete these sessions over the phone, the code will be emailed to you as soon as you have completed each session(s). Simply enter these codes when completing a purchase on Amazon.com and the amount on each gift card will be deducted from your total. These codes are redeemable immediately after they are issued and do not have an expiration date.

I filled out the screener, but I don't qualify. Why is that?
The qualification criteria for this study are made up of a specific combination of demographic information. If you do not qualify at this time, it is simply because you do not fit the specific demographics we are looking for at this time. Qualification criteria may change in the future, however, so you may still be contacted if you become eligible for the study later.
|
How soon do I have to participate?
This study is ongoing for the next 2.5 years or until we reach our recruitment goal. You can participate at any time before the study ends and we are happy to find a time that is convenient for your schedule. We are aware that Guard members lead very busy lives, so flexibility is a priority on our end! If you think you might be available to participate in the future, we encourage you to complete the screener now to see if you qualify. Our Project Manager will work with your schedule to set up the first appointment.
|
I'm deploying soon, can I still participate?
Of course! To ensure that we are able to complete all 3 sessions with you (and so that you can receive the full $200 for participating) we will get in touch with you when you return from deployment. If you believe you may be interested in participating when you return, we encourage you to complete the screener now. On the screener, you will be given the chance to let us know your approximate return date from deployment and we will reach out when you get back to see if you are still interested in participating!
