Thank you for your interest in our research. The purpose of this research study is to

understand the effects of exposure to stressful experiences on bodily responses, emotions,

behavior, and well-being. This survey will ask you a few questions to determine whether

you are eligible to participate in this research.
 

The screening will take about 5 minutes to complete. You will be asked some questions

about yourself, including demographic questions and questions about your experiences.

You do not have to answer any questions you do not wish to answer or are uncomfortable

answering, and you may stop at any time. Your participation in the screening is voluntary.

We will make our best efforts to keep your answers confidential. No one except for the

research team will have access to your answers. If you do not qualify for the study, your

responses will not be stored. If you qualify for the study and decide to participate, your

screening responses will be kept with the research record.
 

If you have any questions about the screening or the research, you may contact Dr. Danielle

Berke, db2800@hunter.cuny.edu.
 

If you have questions about your rights as a research participant, or if you wish to voice any

problems or concerns to someone other than the researchers, please call CUNY Research

Compliance Administrator at 646-664-8918 or email hrpp@cuny.edu.
 

Thank you again for your willingness to answer our questions. Please indicate below

whether you consent to continue with the screening questionnaire.
