Hello:
              Researchers from SDSU and NDSU Extension are conducting a project entitled "Strengthening the Heartland” as part of an outreach project at South Dakota State University and North Dakota State University. The purpose of the study is to raise awareness about prescription opioid use.
              You, as an individual participating in a training or webinar, are invited to participate in the project by completing the attached survey. We realize that your time is valuable and have attempted to keep the requested information as brief and concise as possible. It will take approximately 10 minutes of your time.                Your participation in this project is voluntary. You may refuse to submit the survey without consequence.
              There are minimal risks to you for participating in this project. It is possible that some of the questions may be upsetting. If you experience any distress and feel that you need assistance, please contact your local community health center or call the National Helpline at: 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
             There may be no direct benefits to you as a participant. But, it is possible that you may learn more about safe use of prescription opioids.
             Your responses are confidential. When the responses are reviewed, you will not be linked to the survey by your name, title IP address, or any other identifying item. If you are completing the survey online, your confidentiality is only as secure as your equipment; no guarantees can be made regarding the interception of data sent via the Internet. All physical data will be stored in the Project Director's office. The office has a separately keyed lock. Physical data will be stored within a locked file cabinet in the office. Only approved and trained members of the project team will have access to the data. Physical data will be maintained for 3 years after the study completion date. After that time, physical data will be shredded. Electronic data will be de-identified, but maintained for continued data analysis.
              You will be offered a chance to receive a $25 gift card after participating in the training or presentation and completing the baseline and follow-up surveys.  
              Your consent is implied by the return of the completed questionnaire. Please keep this letter for your information. If you have any questions, now or later, you may contact us at the number below. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant in this study, you may contact the SDSU Research Compliance Coordinator at 605-688-6975, SDSU.IRB@sdstate.edu.
