Dear Doctoral Students,
I’m writing to ask for your help in identifying parents/guardians of children aged 11-18 who may be willing to provide permission to their children in taking a survey about internet and search engine usage.
I could email the invitation letter and survey link to you to forward to the parents/If any parents/guardians or I can contact them directly via email if you pass on their emails. The survey study has an IRB approval.
Example survey questions:
Q6: In a few words, tell us what the internet is in the box below. If you don't know, type "I don't know" in the box below.
Q7: In a few words, tell us what a web search engine is in the box below. If you don't know, type "I don't know" in the box below.
Q8: Do you use the internet to find information?
o
Yes, by myself
o
Yes, but with a parent's help
o
Yes, but with a friend's help
o
No
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best,
Dania
