I'm an associate professor in the technical communication program at the University of Houston-Downtown. I am conducting survey research to study to what extent people use Facebook for community-building and health-related purposes. (CPHS Log# 38-11a). Please participate in the survey. Completing the survey takes approximately 10 minutes. Participation is voluntary; there is no penalty if you choose not to participate or to withdraw from the study at any time. The survey is anonymous; results of the survey may be published, but participantsÂ’ names will not be solicited or used. If you are a Facebook user who is age 18 or over and who is willing to take the survey, please follow this link--<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z7DXWJ5>--where, in addition to accessing the survey, you will find more information about the study and the survey itself. If you have any questions, please contact Aimee Roundtree at roundtreea@uhd.edu or 713-222-5315.
