HOW WILL THE DATA BE USED and protected?

The data collected will be used to get a picture of the health of the community as a whole. Similarly, to the Framingham Heart Study, information from this study will support the health and wellness of future generations and create insights for years to come. To ensure your privacy and confidentiality, your survey responses are de-identified and will be separated from your personally identifiable information (i.e. name, address, phone number, etc.). Your responses will be assigned a unique research ID and will be separated from any document that links your ID with personally identifiable information.

We will protect your personal information. There are laws that help us keep your information private. These laws say that some people can look at your information, for example IRB members and researchers who work for University of Central Florida, College of Medicine might look at it. Only people who need to see your information may look at it.
