Giving your consent for your student to participate is very important. Doing your parent survey is also very helpful, but if you do not wish to complete the parent survey, it is still necessary to give consent for your student to participate in the study.

a.  After you have completed the previous steps you as a parent can access the Parental Health Behavior Survey.

b.  Read each question carefully and answer as best as you can.

c.  Some questions will address the mother or the father of the child. Either parent can answer all the questions but it may be best to fill it out together.

d. The completion of the questionnaire should take approximately 20 minutes. You can complete the questionnaire in one setting or in several sessions, whatever is most convenient to you. It would be best to finish it early. The deadline is April 30.

 

4.  What if I have more than one child participating in the study?

If you have more than one child that participates in the study you need to repeat the previous steps and provide the informed consent for each of your children that are participating. In the Parental Survey You will not need to answer all questions again but only those questions that are relevant for that particular child.
