Hi! My name is Natania Wright. I am a student in the Clinical
Psychology Ph.D. program at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I
am doing an internet-based research study looking at how anxiety is
related to weight loss behaviors. You will be asked to answer
questions about your mood, social anxiety, body image, eating, and
exercise. It should take about 20 minutes to complete these
questions.

This survey is completely voluntary. If you are uncomfortable
answering a question, you may skip it. You will also be able to end
the survey at any time. Limit of one questionnaire per computer.

By being in this study, you will provide information about barriers to
weight loss behaviors. This information can be used to create better
weight loss programs. The information you provide will be used for
research purposes only.

At the end of the survey, you will have the chance to enter a raffle
to win a 50 dollar gift. Your name and email address will be collected
for the purpose of this raffle only. To protect your privacy, your
name will not be linked to the survey responses. A list of helpful
websites about weight loss and social anxiety will also be provided at
the end of the survey.
