Informed Consent – Written Version

This is a research study. Please take your time in deciding if you would like to participate. Please feel free to ask questions at any time.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this study is to investigate eating attitudes and help-seeking behavior.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURES

If you agree to participate in this study, your participation will last for approximately 20- 30 minutes. During the study, you will be asked to answer some self-report questions through an online survey.

RISKS

We do not anticipate that these procedures will cause you any harm, but if you experience discomfort you may talk to the investigators about your concerns. You are free to skip any question that you do not wish to answer or that makes you feel uncomfortable. You are also free at any time to choose to end your participation. There will be no negative effects if you choose to skip a question or discontinue your participation in the study. If you choose to end your participation all data collected will be erased.

BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION

There is no direct benefit to you other than learning about psychological research from a participant’s perspective. Your participation in this project will help the researchers develop a better understanding of how eating attitudes affect help-seeking behavior. This increased understanding may lead to creation of interventions raising awareness of help- seeking behavior and its use.

PARTICIPANT RIGHTS

Your participation in this study is voluntary and you may refuse to participate or leave the study at any time. If you decide to not participate in the study or leave the study early, it will not result in any penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

CONFIDENTIALITY:

Records identifying participants will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and will not be made publicly available. In addition,

103

precautions will be taken to protect your privacy including: (a) assigning you a unique code number that will be used instead of your name; (b) combining your data with the data collected from other participants so that no individual information will be

identifiable.

Federal government regulatory agencies such as the National Institute of Health and the Institutional Review Board (a committee that reviews and approves human subject research studies) may inspect and/or copy our records for quality assurance and data analysis. These records may contain private information.

QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS

Debriefing Statement

Thank you for your participation. The study you just participated in was designed to better understand the effects of eating attitudes on help-seeking behavior.

Your data will also be combined with the data of other participants to further ensure anonymity. These data will be kept in a locked cabinet, in a locked office.
