Thank you for accepting the invitation to participate in this study. The questions contained in this survey are designed to obtain your opinion about a number of things concerning you, your friends, your family, your neighborhood and your community. In a sense, many of your answers will count as "votes" on a wide range of important issues. In order for this study to be helpful, it is important that you answer each question as thoughtfully and honestly as possible. All of your answers will be kept strictly confidential and will never be seen by anyone at your school. This study is completely voluntary so you may skip any question that you do not wish to answer. Be sure to read the instructions before you begin to answer. Thank you very much for being an important part of this project. INSTRUCTIONS 1. This is not a test, so there are no right or wrong answers to this 8 page survey. 2. All of the questions should be answered by clicking one of the answer spaces. If you do not find an answer that fits exactly, use the one that comes closest. If any question does not apply to you, or you are not sure of what it means, just leave it blank. 3. In the event you experience network congestion, your responses may take up to 90 seconds to register and display your next page of questions. 4. In the event your browser stops registering (or takes longer than 3 minutes to respond after submitting your survey page), simply restart the survey and page up to the location that your browser stop responding. 5. In the event you run out of classroom time, simply page all the way to the end of the survey. Remember to close this window when your new survey window pops up!
