I give my consent for my child to complete surveys during their TOP® Club participation. Wyman operates a secure environment to collect and store participant information from its Teen Outreach Program®. The online system also stores information about the TOP® services each student has received. Wyman collects the following types of information directly from TOP® participants through online surveys: Opinions about their experience in TOP®, ethnicity/race, gender, age, grade level, parents’ education level-Social and emotional skills, sense of self, connections with others, grades in school, skipped classes, suspensions, graduation and schooling plans, pregnancy, and parenting. I understand that Wyman and Copper Shores use the participants’ responses to improve the Teen Outreach Program®. I understand that survey and data collection is voluntary and that my child may choose not to participate at any point in the process without risk of losing TOP® services. I am also aware my child will not be required to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in Teen Outreach Program® as a condition of participation. I am aware that survey results for the entire TOP® group may be used to market Teen Outreach Program® to increase awareness and funding; results may also be used for publications or conference presentations. However, my child’s identifying information will not be disclosed except in the case where online access is unavailable and therefore paper survey data is entered by a third party or employee under a strict non-disclosure of confidential information agreement. I also understand that the associated risks for my child to participate in this survey are minimal and will not exceed any discomfort that may be found in any daily life situations when answering routine survey questions.
