A Message from the Global Health Services Research RIG
You are invited to participate in a research study designed by members of the Global Health RIG of ENRS. Participation is completely voluntary. Please read the information below and ask questions about anything that you do not understand. A researcher listed below will be available to answer your questions.
Introduction and Purpose
Our names are Drs. Keville Frederickson and Kelley Newlin. Dr. Frederickson is a Professor in the Lienhard School of Nursing. At Pace University and Dr. Newlin at University of Connecticut. We would like to invite you to take part in this research study, with our primary objective to learn more about global health initiatives across northeastern departments, schools and colleges of nursing to better understand our collective global work.
Procedures
If you agree to participate in my research, you will be asked to complete the online survey/ questionnaire. The survey will involve questions about the organization of your global health programs at your school/college, and should take about 10 minutes to complete.
Benefits
There is no direct benefit to you from taking part in this study. It is hoped that the research will increase our understanding of ENRS nursing’s collective global work.
Risks/Discomforts
As with all research, there is a very minimal chance that confidentiality could be compromised; however, we are taking extra precautions to minimize this risk.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality will be strictly maintained by: (1) not collecting ISP addresses; and (2) assigning a code number to each respondent so that data are never directly linked with a participant’s survey submission.
When the research is completed, we may save the data for use in future research that will extend our understanding of global health organization. Records will be retained for up to 5 years after the study is over. The same measures described above will be taken to protect confidentiality of this study data.
Compensation
You will not be paid for taking part in this study.

You can decline to answer any questions and are free to stop taking part in the project at any time.
