This research is being conducted by Charla Chailland and Brianna Raatz, students at Hanover College taking Dr. Ellen Altermatt’s PSY 462 course Research Seminar. The survey which you are being asked to complete is designed to examine parent and child drink preferences. You will be taking two short surveys and reading an article. In the two short surveys, you will be asked several questions about your child’s drink preferences as well as information regarding overall health. You will also be asked a few demographic questions. After you have finished answering all the questions, you will be debriefed.

The survey will not take more than ten minutes. There are no known risks involved in being in this study, beyond those of everyday life. The information you provide during the survey is completely anonymous; at no time will your name be associated with the responses you give. If you have questions after the survey, please contact Charla Chailland at chaillandc@hanover.edu and/or Brianna Raatz at raatzb@hanover.edu. You may also contact our advisor of this research project, Dr. Ellen Altermatt at altermattel@hanover.edu.
