Hi again. I hope this reaches you this time... -----Original Message----- From: Kayla Hales Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 7:56 PM To: 'air-l@listserv.aoir.org' Subject: Re: [Air-L] Do you use electronic communication to maintain Hi Rhiannon and All, Yes, my study is IRB approved. This wasn't stated in the abridged recruitment announcement I posted to the list; thank you for bringing this to my attention. The longer announcement (which I didn't post because it was too large for the list) has the following noted: "This is a Pennsylvania State University affiliated study being conducted, in partial completion of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy in Information Sciences and Technology (IST), under the direction of Dr. Lynette Kvasny - Associate Professor in IST. IRB#30284" Hope that clarifies! Many thanks to those who have already participated! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=8MIpVc4vi2vDQ_2bUXEqV_2bXw_3d_3d Regards, Kayla D.
