COVER LETTER
Dear participant,
We are undergraduate students in the Psychology program at the University of Guam. We are conducting a study regarding the relationship between the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and physical and mental health. The approximate number of subjects involved in this study will be 100 or more.
You will be asked to complete 11 survey instruments that will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. The survey consists of over 150 questions. Questions are rated on a Likert Scale.
You will be asked to complete a demographic form. The form asks questions pertaining to: age, gender, ethnicity, and educational level.
Risks are minimal. Participants are only being asked to complete a survey that will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.
The information obtained about you will be kept in confidence. No names will be used. All surveys will be coded. Names will only be able to be traced by the researcher. The information may be used for statistical or scientific purposes without identifying you as an individual. Participants identities will be kept anonymous and all data will be secured in password protected files. Surveys will not be linked by IP addresses. Files will be permanently erased after one year.
Any significant new findings will be provided to you during the course of the study.
You are free to withdraw from this project at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which you would otherwise be entitled. Should a physical injury occur, appropriate first aid will be provided, but no financial compensation will be given.
