Hi:
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of stress and violence on children living in urban areas. Again, participation is completely voluntary and any information that is obtained with this study and that can be identified with you will remain confidential. I am taking every precaution to keep your information confidential and have replaced your name and any other identifiers with a number so that your answers will remain anonymous.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
