The Big Five Inventory

Dear GoodNEWS Lay Health Promoter,

You are invited to participate in this survey about health and personality. This survey will be used to determine the unique characteristics that are essential for health promotion and behavior change.

Your participation in this study will require completion of The Big Five Personality Inventory and additional questions. This should take approximately twenty minutes of your time. Your participation will be confidential and you may be contacted again in future. You will be paid an incentive of a twenty dollar gift card upon completing this questionnaire. This survey does not involve any foreseeable risk to you. Beyond your personal compensation, your participation may impact society by helping community-based research programs find out which characteristics of individual Lay Health Promoters (LHP) successfully create an active environment for health behavior change.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about this study. If you have further questions about this project or if you have a research-related problem, you may contact me, Vanessa Danquah, at (214) 648-2090. If you have any questions about your rights as a research participant, you may contact the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Institutional Review Board (IRB) at (214) 648-3060. An IRB is a group of people that reviews research studies to make sure that participant rights and safety are protected.

If you agree with all the statements above, please begin the questionnaire. Please note completing the questionnaire means you have volunteered to participate in this study.
Thank you
