Hello Georgia Tech Students:

My name is Nicholas Heck and I am a graduate student at The University of Montana. I’m currently recruiting participants to complete an online survey that is examining the experiences of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) adolescents and young adults. Specifically, this survey is interested in LGBT individuals’ experiences in high school. The survey will take anywhere from 30-40 minutes to complete.

The survey is completely anonymous. We will not ask participants to identify themselves or their high school. As an incentive for participating in this survey, participants will be given the opportunity to enter their e-mail address into a drawing where they could win one of ten $10 Amazon.com gift cards. Participants’ e-mail addresses will be entered and stored in a separate database from their data.

The survey has been approved by The University of Montana’s Institutional Review Board (IRB). A certificate of the approval can be provided if you would like. Also, if you’d like other information about the study, please feel free to contact me at nicholas.heck@umontana.edu.

The URL for the study is http://psychweb.psy.umt.edu/absurveys/nhstudy2/

Thank you in advance for assisting me in this project!
