THE CHECKOUT PROJECT SURVEY - ONLINE!
http://www.studentvoice.com/umc/checkoutproject

Welcome to the CHECKOUT PROJECT SURVEY.

Our focus is on gaining insight into the attitudes, behaviors and beliefs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community regarding tobacco use. This is the first nearly statewide LGBT survey of its kind in Missouri. If you are 18 or older, please consider taking our survey. Your opinions are an important part of our community. If you have already taken this survey at a Pride Festival in Columbia, St. Louis or Springfield, please DO NOT take it again. Your participation is completely voluntary. Confidentiality is important to us and none of the information you provide will be connected to your name.

After completing the survey you can register to win a MP3 player. If you have questions about the survey, or to learn more about the CHECKOUT PROJECT, please contact: Dean Andersen at 573-884-2077 or Sue McDaniel at 573-230-8582.

To learn more about human subject research, please contact the IRB at: 573- 882-3181.
