The purpose of this study is to gather information that will help us better understand how individuals are understanding, reacting and coping with Bird Flu. Understanding the psychological factors and responses to the threat of Bird Flu infection may help to identify more effective intervention strategies to help people cope with the Bird Flu threat. Potential risks include answering questions on a potentially upsetting topic (Bird Flu infection), however you may benefit from this study by gaining insight into how you are dealing with this threat.


If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to participate in an on-line questionnaire on the Bird Flu Virus. Completion of the questionnaire is entirely voluntary and has no effect on your medical care. You have the right to refuse to participate or withdraw from participation without penalty of any kind and the right to terminate your participation at any time.


All information is confidential and will be used for research purposes only. Anonymity is assured, as your name will not appear on the questionnaire. This consent form is not attached to your questionnaire. The data will be securely stored by the principal investigator. The questionnaire consists of 5 parts and takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. The survey works optimally on Internet Explorer.
