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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
This survey should take about 5-10 minutes to finish, depending on the answers that the participant provides.
The survey is anonymous. We will combine your answers with the answers provided by many other respondents when reporting the results.

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.
