We are ecstatic to share a great study (link below) that is being conducted by our very own Dr. Thornton-Lugo along with researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)! They are conducting a study examining the impact of COVID-19 on your work. You are eligible to participate in this survey opportunity if you are a full-time employee working in the United States of America.



This study will involve the completion of 3 total surveys for a $20 Amazon gift card, with an option to participate in a bonus fourth survey for an additional Amazon gift card of $5. One survey can be taken now and the second survey will be sent in about a month. The third survey will be sent later in the spring when a vaccine is expected to become more accessible to a wider range of people in Texas and Ohio. The bonus fourth survey will be sent to your email some time after that.



To enroll in the study, please use this link to take the presurvey: https://akron.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_doPHjbCJBJbMr1c



Please note that you will need to provide your email address to participate and receive compensation. They will cap participation at 500 participants so make sure to sign up while spots are still available!
