Note on data collection for the Social Media Break Study: The only personal information we will ask for is an email address. We also ask participants to verify their age during the interview but do not keep a record of any documents. We do not store identifiable data. The data we will maintain will be de-identified and confidential. If you'd like to know more about how we maintain anonymity and confidentiality, please reach out to us at DMAPlab@pace.edu and we'll be happy to share.
