### How will participants be compensated for being part of the study?

* You may delete this section if participants will not be compensated, and you prefer not to mention the possibility of compensation on this form. * Please note, the purpose of compensation is to reimburse participants for their time, effort, or actual costs (e.g., fuel used to travel to and from an interview) spent completing your study procedures. * If you do plan to compensate participants, include payment/reimbursement/incentive information here. If participants will receive class points or some other token, include that information here. * Include information about when participants will be compensated, the conditions of payment, and whether monetary benefits will be pro-rated if a participant does not complete the study. Because participation in research is voluntary and participants have the right to end their participation during the study if they so choose, if a study involves more than one procedure, compensation should be prorated or even staggered (e.g., $5 to $10 per procedure as opposed to receiving a single payment of $20 or $25 after all procedures are completed.)
