This survey is gathering gastrointestinal (GI)-related symptoms and the frequency and severity when symptoms occur. It will also gather some general data about demographics and other health conditions to help researchers understand whether gastrointestinal symptoms differ across different groups of people.
PRIVACY AND DATA:
- This survey is intended to be anonymous and will not ask you for any identifying information, and you should not enter any identifying or other information in open-ended text boxes that you do not want the researcher (Dana Lewis) to see.
- You can stop taking the survey at any time for any reason. If you do not hit "submit" at the end of the survey, none of your data will be included.
Because it is anonymous, the researcher has no way to delete your data from the dataset once it has been submitted at the end of the form, but you can simply stop the survey at any time if you decide you do not want to contribute.
- Note: You do NOT have to log in to Google to take this survey. If you happen to be logged in to a Google account, your email is not saved or shown or linked in any way to your survey responses.
WHO IS RUNNING THIS SURVEY:- Dana Lewis developed this survey and will be the sole individual accessing the data.
- This study and research is not funded. No companies or organizations play a role in the development of the survey, analysis of the data, sharing of the results, or the researcher's time working on this survey or the data analysis for it.
HOW THIS DATA WILL BE USED:- This data will be analyzed to see if there are differences across groups in the volume and pattern of gastrointestinal-related symptoms. The data will be aggregated (grouped) and written about in blog posts and/or academic/medical journal papers in order to share group-level data with the general public and medical/research communities so we can design additional and more relevant research studies in the future. Individual-level data will not be shared or discussed.

Thank you for taking the survey!
