Gwen in Love

Hello G.I.L. Readers!

My name is Kelsy Burke and I am a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am conducting research that explores how Christians use the Internet to talk about issues related to sexuality. If you are 18 years or older, I’d like to ask you to participate in my study by completing an online questionnaire.

You don’t need to disclose your real name, and no identifying information will be recorded. Your participation is completely confidential and after you submit your responses, they are stored securely in a password protected database. There are no risks or benefits for participating in this study.

The questionnaire will take you about 15 minutes to complete and will ask you basic demographic questions (e.g. age, race, marital status, education). It will also ask you questions about your religious affiliation and participation, Internet use, sexual practices, and sexual attitudes.

You will see a statement about compensated online interviews when you take the questionnaire. I am not conducting interviews at this time but I appreciate your help with the survey component of my study.

Here is the link to the questionnaire. In order to access it, you’ll need to enter the access code: faith11.

If you have any questions about the study, please feel free to contact me.
