TUFTS UNIVERSITY
COUNSELING AND HEALTH CARE SURVEY
Greetings from Bruce Reitman, Acting Dean of Students
Tufts University is conducting an extensive study of health care and
counseling issues among our students. All currently enrolled students and
1998 and 1999 graduates are being asked to participate in this research
effort. It is important that you respond to this survey even though
you may not have used either the Health Service or the Counseling Center.
You may access the survey by clicking on one of the "I'm Willing to
Participate" buttons on this page. You will then be asked to provide the
last six digits of your Student Identification number (you can preview
the survey using the code 123456).
WIN GREAT PRIZES JUST FOR COMPLETING
THE SURVEY!
Following completion of your survey, you will be entered into a drawing
to win one of 75 $10 gift certificates
at Expresso's. The following grand
prizes will also be awarded in a drawing among the survey participants
(including recipients of the $10 gift certificates):
Four $50 University Bookstore
gift certificates
One $100 University Bookstore
gift certificates
One $500 gift certificate from
United Airlines
We expect the survey will take you approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The only inquiries that you are required to answer are questions one and
31. These two questions are mandatory because they determine which questions
will then be asked of users versus non-users of the Counseling Center and
the Health Service. You may leave any other question blank. When
you click on the "submit" button at the bottom of each page, the survey
software will call your attention to any questions you did not answer.
You may then use the "back" button on your web browser to answer the question
or click on a "continue" button to bypass the question(s) you choose not
to answer. If you inadvertently answer a question incorrectly, there is
a button at the bottom of each page of the survey that allows you to clear
all answers on that page.
We are doing everything possible to assure the confidentiality of the
survey participants' responses. For example, the partial use of your
Student Identification number is only used to control access to the survey
and complete the drawing for selection of award recipients. Although
we have taken appropriate steps relative to survey data confidentiality,
such as using a secure server, there is no way to provide an absolute assurance
that data transmitted over the Internet will remain secure.
At the conclusion of the survey, you will be given the option to submit
comments to the consulting firm that is assisting Tufts University with
this research effort, Stephen L. Beckley & Associates (SLBA). Providing
SLBA with any comments you may have about the survey is completely optional.
If you have questions about the survey, or
if you have difficulty accessing the survey using the last six digits of
your Student Identification number, please contact Anna Wong at awong@emerald.tufts.edu
Thank you for participating in this important research effort about
the future of health care and counseling services at Tufts University.
I also want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support for the
survey that we received from Expresso's and the Tufts University Bookstore.
Best wishes for good health and success in your academic endeavors at
Tufts University.
