Participants will be compensated for their time.

What are the bad things that can happen from this research?

A potential risk of participation includes the potential for a breach of confidentiality, although the study involves protections to minimize such risks.  In addition, participants may become embarrassed or anxious when they are asked study questions or are completing study tasks.
