My name is Susan Glinka and I am a graduate student at Pacific University. I am conducting a research project to learn about attitudes toward organ donation, intention to become an organ donor, behavioral commitment to becoming an organ donor, and how knowledge of the health status (i.e. HIV status, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis, or no presented/no apparent medical complication) of the recipient may impact willingness to become an organ donor.It is expected that participation in the proposed study will take approximately 30 minutes.If you want to be in this study, you will complete a brief demographics questionnaire, the Intention to Donate survey, Behavioral Commitment to Organ Donation survey, Organ Donation Attitude Survey (ODAS), and the Organ Donation Knowledge Survey (ODKS). You will be presented with a vignette of a potential organ recipient and then be asked about your willingness to become an organ donor for that individual followed by the ODAS again. You also will have the option of answering open-ended questions regarding your opinions about organ donation.To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old, English-speaking, and have access to a computer with Internet access. Your responses will be kept private by an anonymous methodology. This means that we are collecting no information about your identity, we will not know who responded and there is no way to link answers to identities.Due to the electronic nature of the study we cannot guarantee the privacy of data transmitted via the Internet. The survey has been built using SurveyGizmo. Only the research investigators are the formal owners of the survey account, but all gathered information is available to any person who gains account access. Once the survey period is closed (May 2015) all data will be transferred to a secure storage device and the account will be deactivated.The study has been reviewed and approved by the Pacific University human subject research ethics committee.Any potential risks (e.g., emotional, financial, social, legal) due to participating are minimal, no greater than what one faces in normal daily living activities. One way to avoid potential risk is that you are free to not answer any question, and you may withdraw at any time simply by closing your browser or navigating away from the survey site. If you skip questions, we will discard the responses you provided. However, once you submit your survey, withdrawing is impossible due to the anonymous methodology.There are no direct benefits from participating in this study. With the exception of your time, there are no additional costs. It is important to understand you are receiving no services of any sort from Pacific University as a result your participation in this study. Any past, current, or future relationships you may have with Pacific University will not be affected in any way as a consequence of your choosing whether or not to participate.If you have any questions about the research, please contact the principle investigator, Susan Glinka, M.S., by email at glin6202@pacificu.edu or by phone 503-352-2612; the faculty advisor of this project Jennifer Antick Ph.D. by email at jantick@pacificu.edu or by phone 503-352-2612; or Pacific University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) by email at irb@pacificu.edu or by phone at 503-352-1478.
