Dear FAP therapists and researchers,

We are writing to invite you to participate in a study that explores
individuals’ attitudes towards people with mental illness, their specific
attitudes towards people diagnosed with two different mental illnesses,
individuals diagnosed with a Substance Use Disorder (i.e., Substance Abuse or
Substance Dependence) and individuals diagnosed with Major Depression, and their
attitudes towards in-vivo interventions. This study has received approval by
the University of Washington Human Subjects (HS #07-8753-G01). Your
participation in this survey is completely voluntary. The study will involve an
on-line web survey that will take about 35 minutes of your time. As
compensation for your participation, you will have the option to enter your
contact information in a drawing for a $50.00 gift certificate to Barnes and
Nobles. You will not be asked to give your name at any time except if you
choose to enter the drawing for the gift certificate. Your contact information
will be entered onto a secure webpage that is separate from the study. At no
time will your contact information be associated with your responses given in
the study.

You will not be asked for your demographic information in this study. You will
be asked for your opinions about individuals with mental illness, with Substance
Abuse/Dependence, and with Major Depression. You will also be asked about your
opinions about a specific component of FAP therapy, the in-vivo process. You
will be asked to complete two cognitive tests. These tests will ask you to
respond quickly to images and words flashed on the computer screen. At the end
of the study, you will be asked to provide feedback about the study’s measures
and procedures. There will be a “frequently asked questions” section to
provide you with further information at the end of survey.

The survey is managed on a University of Washington and Web Inquisit web
servers that use the same secure transfer protocol used by banks and other
commercial websites. Data that you provide on the study website are protected
in transmission by SSL encryption. No personally identifying information will
be collected unless you choose to enter the drawing for the certificate. This
information will be collected on a webpage separate from the study, and this
webpage will be managed on a University of Washington web server with the same
security as the study website. Your name will never be associated with the data
you enter at the study web address.

This survey has been designed to be as convenient for participants as
possible. The survey can be accessed from any PC format computer 24 hours per
day/7days per week. Although all security protocols have been implemented, as
for all web-based interactions, complete confidentiality cannot be assured.
Accessing this online survey implies that you are consenting to be in the study.
You will not be asked your name for the purpose of written consent. You may end
your participation at any time by exiting your browser.
We strongly encourage women and minority FAP community members to participate,
and all FAP community members are welcome to participate.
There is no direct benefit to you for participating in this survey however, you
will be contributing to scientific knowledge through your participation.
