Contact Tracing Methods research study

[Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension Weekly Bulletin]

Forwarded on behalf of Vice President Shane Burgess:


Dear U of A member,

The university has adopted several contact tracing methods to help control Covid-19 spread in the community. We are a team of U of A researchers interested in understanding people's opinions on these different contact tracing methods.

We wish to invite you if you are either on campus or interested in returning to campus to participate in our three-stage study. We are including in this email the first-stage survey, and we will send you the second-stage survey in two weeks and the third-stage survey in four weeks if you consent to participate.

It would be important for us to hear from you in all three stages, so we would really appreciate if you could devote to participation in all three stages. As an appreciation for your time and effort, we offer you the chance to enter our raffle of $25 UA Book Store Gift Card if you participate in all three stages of surveys. Three to four of our participants will be randomly picked to win the gift cards.

Your response will be analyzed anonymously, and it will take you around 15-25 minutes to finish the first-stage survey, 6-9 minutes to finish the second and third stage.

The first-stage survey is at: [Follow this link]<https://redcap.uahs.arizona.edu/surveys/?s=YE3JAWLLAK>

The University of Arizona reviewed this research project and found it to be acceptable, according to applicable state and federal regulations and University policies designed to protect the rights and welfare of participants in research. We deeply appreciate your time to participate in our survey. If you have any question, concern or complaint about the study, you may contact Kacey C. Ernst at kernst at email.arizona.edu<mailto:kernst at email.arizona.edu> or Sudha Ram at sram at email.arizona.edu<mailto:sram at email.arizona.edu>
