Welcome Child Care Provider!

Greetings! Thank you for taking part in this study. The following survey was developed to learn more about child care centers’ policies and procedures on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).

This online survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Your participation in filling out this survey is voluntary. If you choose to participate, your agreement of consent is simply filling out this online survey. Your answers, thoughts, opinions, and comments will be kept confidential as your privacy is very important to us. The risk of a breach of confidentiality will be minimized by presenting research in a way that makes identification of individuals impossible, and individual responses will not be available to anyone outside the research team. It is not possible to identify all potential risks in research procedures, but the researchers have taken the precautions to minimize any potential risks. There are also no known benefits in participating in this study, but I hope to develop new materials and programs for Colorado child care centers. You may withdraw your consent at any time. If you have any concerns about your selection or treatment as a research participant, please contact the Sponsored Programs and Academic Research Center, Kepner Hall, University of Northern Colorado Greeley, CO 80639 at 970-351-1907.

This research project would not be possible without you. As a token of our appreciation for your time, you will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift card. Please note that your contact information will not be linked to your survey responses. If you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact me at the number and/or email address below. You will also have the opportunity to receive the results of the survey if desired. Thank you for your time, effort and opinions, as they will help to further strengthen the support of infants and child care providers in Colorado.

Sincerely,

Alena Clark, PhD, RD
