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.
