Participation is voluntary. If at any time a participant feels uncomfortable, they may tell the interviewer to stop or skip a question
Participation will involve a 15-minute pre-interview and a one-hour one-on-one interview with the researcher.
Interviews will take place by a private phone line or on a HIPAA-compliant Zoom account.
The participant’s identity will be kept anonymous and the interview will be confidential. Participants’ privacy will be protected by de-identifying all research materials in the following ways: a random code or pseudonym will be used in all records; all records will be stored on an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant Dropbox server; and all records will be permanently deleted after the legally required period that the researcher is required to keep the records.
All participants will receive a $10 gift certificate to Amazon as a token of appreciation.
