Choosing Worksite Healthy Food Options

Choosing Worksite Healthy Food Options

Hello:
You are invited to participate in my survey Choosing Healthy Food Options in Your Workplace Cafeteria. In this survey, you will be asked questions about the foods you choose to purchase at your workplace cafeteria and why you choose these options. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for me to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Tasha Timbrook at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
