Hi, we are a team of student researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) from Massachusetts, USA and we have been working with Voces Vitales Costa Rica (VVCR) for the past few months. Our goal is to collect data from experienced VVCR mentors so that we can help enhance the virtual platforms VVCR uses for the mentorship process due to COVID-19. We know that this global pandemic has affected all of our daily lives and want to help make the virtual mentoring process the best that it can be! Your input and experiences are very valuable to us and we appreciate your participation greatly.

For the purpose of this survey, your name and personal information will not be collected. Our team will refer to you as “VVCR Mentor” in our documentation. You, as the participant, have the freedom to skip any question you do not want to answer and have the ability to email us, the student investigators, any question you desire. Our email is gr-vvcr-c21@wpi.edu Records of your participation in this study will be held confidential so far as permitted by law. Any publication or presentation of the data will not identify you.
