Parent/Guardian Consent

University of Michigan Consent To Be Part Of A Research Study

Name of Study and Researchers

Title of Project: Online Checkpoints Program for Parents and Teen Drivers

Principal Investigator: Douglas Wiebe, PhD
(University of Michigan Injury Prevention Center [UM-IPC])

General Information

We’re doing a study to learn more about ways to improve teen driving safety. To get information, we’d like parent-teen pairs to read information about teen driving presented on the website, complete a parent-teen driving agreement, and complete up to 3 surveys. We expect it to take about 5 minutes to complete each survey.

Answering the surveys is voluntary. You don’t have to answer it if you’d rather not. You can skip any questions that you don’t want to answer, whatever the reason, and you don’t have to tell us why. Choosing not to answer our surveys won’t affect the medical care you might receive at the University of Michigan Health System.

It’s possible that some of the questions may make you feel uncomfortable. If a question makes you uncomfortable, you can just skip it and go to the next question.

Answering our survey won’t benefit you directly. We hope what we learn will help other people in the future. Parents/guardians and teens may receive information from the website that helps the participating teen be a safer driver.

On the registration page you are asked to provide the name of the teen completing this program and the school that teen attends. We are collecting this information because we are partnering with the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, the Tennessee Department of Health, and the Wyoming Department of Health to provide the website for their programs. If you live in one of those states, we will share the following information with the organization from your state (account email address, teen’s name, name of teen’s school, date program was completed).

To keep your information confidential, we have taken steps to ensure that your records are properly stored. Email addresses, teen’s names, and school names will be saved securely by UM-IPC and by the organizations we share them with. That information will not be combined with your survey responses or with the information in your parent-teen driving agreement (other than the agreement completion date).

With appropriate permissions, your survey data may also be shared with the state organizations, other researchers, here, around the world, and with companies.

Your identifiable private information may be stripped of identifiers and used for future research studies or distributed to another researcher for future research studies without additional informed consent.

Research can lead to new discoveries, such as new tests, drugs, or devices. Researchers, their organizations, and other entities, including companies, may potentially benefit from the use of the data or discoveries. You will not have rights to these discoveries or any proceeds from them.

UM-IPC will not provide any compensation or payment for completing the surveys or reading the website. Some programs supported by the state organizations listed above may provide rewards for completing the online program (reading the website and completing a parent-teen driving agreement) but that is separate from this research study.
