You may decide not to answer any questions that make you uncomfortable.
Upon completing the survey, you will be given the opportunity to be entered in a drawing to receive a $50 gift card for your time, inconvenience, or expenses while you are in this study. Two participants will be selected randomly at the end of the study (approximately 3-6 months after the study begins). Taking part in this study is voluntary. You may choose not to take part at all. If you decide to be in this study you may stop taking part at any time. If you decide not to be in this study or if you stop taking part at any time, you will not lose any benefits for which you may qualify.
