The researchers are required to receive your informed consent before you participate in this project. Your participation in this research is voluntary. If you choose not to participate, there are no penalties or loss of benefits or services to which you are otherwise entitled. You may withdraw or be withdrawn from the study at any time without penalty and without loss of benefits. A basic description of the project is written below. Please read the explanation below. We encourage you to email us with any questions to help you understand the project at any time during or after the survey. Contact information of study personnel and other officials is listed at the end of this form. After reading this Informed Consent Statement, you may download it via the link below. Also, please indicate whether you wish to continue to participate by marking either “Yes, I wish participate and continue to the survey” or “No, I would like to end my participation at this time.”                                            1.    PROJECT PURPOSE: I am proposing a study at Carthage College to examine the nutritional practices of Division III college athletes. There has not been much research on Division III athletes, so I plan to fill a gap in the literature with my study. I seek to better understand how the nutritional practices vary in division III sports.                                                             2.   EXPLANATION OF PROCEDURES: For this project, I am asking you to complete a confidential and anonymous online survey. You will be asked a series of questions about yourself, your exercise and nutritional habits, and experiences as a Division III college athlete.                                                                                                                           3.  DURATION OF PARTICIPATION:This online survey is designed to take between 15 and 30 minutes depending on your own pace.                                            4. RISKS:This survey is designed to create minimal risk, however, the personal nature of these questions may contribute to some level of uneasiness. You may choose not to answer any question you wish and may end your participation at any time without penalty.                      5. BENEFITS:There is no direct benefit to you for participating, however, you will be contributing to increased knowledge about the experiences of Division III college athletes which may be used to help provide important exercise and nutritional programming.                                                               6.   CONFIDENTIALITY:Participation in research entails a potential loss of privacy. If you choose to participate in the survey, we will be collecting the data anonymously through this online survey. Your data cannot be connected to you in any way. We will not ask for identifying information—i.e. your name or email address. All information collected from the survey will be stored on a team google drive without identifiers accessible only to Dr. Bradley Zopf and Katherine Cullinan. Upon completion of the Senior Thesis, the google team drive will be erased and deleted.                 7. COMPENSATION:There is no compensation for participating in this survey.                                            8. CONSENT:                                                                     o I have read the above information about [A Study of the Nutritional Practices of Division III Collegiate Athletes] and have been given an opportunity to ask questions. Yes, I agree to participate in this project and would like to continue to the survey.                                       o  I affirm that I am 18 years of age or older, and I have been given an opportunity to download a copy of this consent document                                                          Principal Investigator: Dr. Bradley Zopf                       Carthage CollegeSociology Department                           262-551-6674 bzopf@carthage.edu                          Student Co-Investigator:Katherine Cullinan                 Sociology Department kcullinan@carthage.edu Department Chair:Dr. Rick Matthews               Carthage College                                                                 262-551-5825 rmatthews@carthage.edu                               Institutional Review Board Chairperson:                     Dr. Deanna Byrnes                                                        262-551-2371   irbchair@carthage.edu  *
