Informed Consent to Participate

We are inviting you to participate in this research project because you have experiences with, and/or knowledge about, a specific topic, service, or product. The purpose of this research is to be guided by your feedback when making strategic decisions.

The market research procedures may involve reviewing media concepts, discussing your opinions individually or in a group setting, answering survey questions, and sharing your thoughts and experiences. You may be asked to meet with us in person or speak via telephone or internet-chat. It is possible that your participation may be observed by the study sponsors. It is also possible that we will record the session and take notes to record your comments and actions. You will be informed if recording will take place prior to your participation.

There are no direct benefits from participating in this research. However, possible benefits include meeting others who understand your situation with whom you can discuss your feelings and experiences, as well as providing guidance that could possibly help other people in the future. 

There are no physical risks in participating in this research. Talking about these topics may be uncomfortable at times.

Your participation in this research is completely voluntary. You may take a break at any time.  .
