The general purpose of this study is to learn more about how people interpret news articles. It is supervised by Dr. Milen Radell and has been reviewed and approved by Niagara University (IRB chairperson Dr. Paul Schupp, pshupp@niagara.edu).
In this study you will read a brief news article on a weight loss therapy and answer questions based on that article. You will also provide demographic information about yourself and complete a brief questionnaire. On average, the study takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Your responses are anonymous, and you can withdraw from the study at any time without penalty. However, you will only receive compensation if you complete it. If you have any questions about the study, please email Dr. Radell at mradell@niagara.edu.
