FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why was I selected?

We randomly selected your address from home addresses in the United States. This means that when you respond, you represent hundreds of other Americans like you. When all completed surveys are combined, they represent a snapshot of households in the United States.

What is the survey about?

We are interested in finding out about certain activities that people take part in. Our goal is to have hundreds of respondents complete the survey so that your voice and a variety of different types of people in the United States are represented.

Who can take part?

We will first need an adult (age 18 or older) who lives at this address to enter the Access Code and answer a few questions about themselves and their household. These questions will help identify who is eligible to participate. From those eligible, we will randomly select one or two people to take part in the survey.

What's in it for me?

Once each eligible participant completes the survey, they will be provided with a link to receive a $20 electronic gift card of their choice from either Amazon.com or Target. In addition, this is an opportunity to be part of scientific research!

  • Amazon.com - Restrictions apply, see amazon.com/gc-legal
  • Target - Target and the Bullseye Design are registered trademarks of Target Brands, Inc. Terms and conditions are applied to gift cards. Target is not a participating partner in or sponsor of this offer.

Do you collect my personal information?

We do not ask for the participant’s name or require any other form of personally identifiable information. We only ask for age, gender, race, ethnicity, and education level. We will also have the address to which the invitation was mailed.

How long will it take to complete the survey?

This survey should take about 5-10 minutes to finish, depending on the answers that the participant provides.

How do you report the results?

The survey is anonymous. We will combine your answers with the answers provided by many other respondents when reporting the results.

Is there a deadline to participate and/or claim my gift card?

The last day to participate and complete the survey is November 18, 2024. Once you have completed the survey, you will be able to claim your gift card any time up until December 3, 2024.

How do I redeem my reward?

After completing the survey, click to redeem your reward. You must redeem your reward before December 3, 2024. On or after December 3, 2024, we will not be able to validate your completion of the survey and exchange it for the $20 Amazon.com or Target gift card.

Who is conducting the survey?

This survey is being conducted by Big Village Insights, Inc., a global organization that uses data and research to offer various solutions – such as insights, data, and technology – to their clients. Big Village provides information and strategies to clients in numerous industries, including insurance, finance, health care, automotive, technology, and consumer packaged goods.

How do I download a copy of the Consent & Assent forms?

You must have already agreed to participate in the Decision Survey or allow your teens to participate in the Decision Survey to download these forms. Once you have done this, click to download the form(s). These forms will be available for downloading/printing for 60 days after completion of the survey.

Why am I having trouble sending email messages to the selected participant in my house?

It may occur that the email program does not automatically launch when clicking the ‘send an email’ option when the selected individual is not currently available. This is due to certain software settings on the device. If this happens, we encourage you to provide them with the letter or postcard that was mailed to your address, and ask them to go to www.decision-study.org and enter the Access Code. If you see a prepopulated message, you can either copy or take a screen-shot of the message, which you can then paste into an email message at your convenience.
