And we are getting responses! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to either complete our survey, or has forwarded the link on to your friends and family. We are very excited to have finally received the approval of the UMaine IRB last week, and have sent the survey link out to everyone we know to start the "snowball." (FYI - a "snowball" is a sampling technique used in social science research to reach out to populations that are hard to locate or identify - more info about this technique can be found here, or here.)
Please: if you have taken the survey, or have friends or family that might be interested, send them the link! Your help is pivotal to the success of our study. If you do not have the original email or Facebook posting you were forwarded, but want to refer friends and family, I have added a link to the survey on the right side of this page above the resource list so you can send a link to this blog and folks will be able to get to the survey from here...
