FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
This is an ongoing study taking place over the next few years. We hope to be able to follow up with participants over time, but we are still interested in your participation even if you are not able to make a full commitment at this time.
To kick off the study, we will ask you to complete three online or mail-in questionnaires.
During the course of the study, we will ask you to engage in one session in a convenient community location (e.g., library, ISU Research Park) and complete some tasks on your own at home.
In fact, you and your partner will each receive around $10 for each survey you complete, $40 for your time completing the in-person session, and $28/day for the at-home session.
This study is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
