Privacy Policy

If you meet the basic eligibility for this study and are interested in participating, the screener will ask you for your contact information to schedule a visit for you to meet with study staff. All information shared in this screener is strictly confidential, will only be used for research study purposes, and will not be shared with third parties. If you are not eligible for the study, you can choose to have your name and contact information kept by the study team if you would like to be contacted about future research studies. Your information will be kept on a secure server. If you choose not to be contacted for future studies, your information will be deleted.



The possible risks of screening for the study include the risk of breach of confidentiality. Data is encrypted on this survey website to minimize this risk. When study staff receive your information, it will be kept on a secure server. Because this screener includes some questions around sensitive topics, please be aware that if you are using a shared or public device, or if you are in a public space, it is possible that others could monitor your activity. We encourage you to consider your surroundings and the privacy of the device and connection you are using before beginning the screener. While you may not benefit personally from being in this research study, the information learned from this study will assist the researchers in learning about how well apps, such as Get Connected, may work for young people like you.
