Title of Study: The effectiveness of an electronic-mail campaign to modify stress levels, mood states, and coping
techniques among employed adults
Principal Investigator: Cassandra Hoke, M.P.H.
Co-Investigators: Warren Watson, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURES/ELEMENTS THAT MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT
OR INCONVENIENCE:
Some individuals may find it distressful or inconvenient to receive e-mail messages from
the investigator for a three- month duration. If a volunteer would like to withdraw from the study
at any time, he/she may send an e-mail message to the investigator and request that his/her
address be removed from the mailing list. Additionally, some people may find some of the
suggested procedures for coping with stress undesirable, uncomfortable, or inconvenient. In all
cases, a participant should use his/her judgment to determine whether he/she would like to try or
continue to try to follow any advice recommended during the course of this study.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURES/ELEMENTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
FORESEEABLE RISKS:
There is only negligible risk of discomfort or of disclosure of personal information
associated with this study.
BENEFITS TO THE SUBJECTS OR OTHERS:
The volunteers will receive information about stress management and stress coping
techniques during their participation in the intervention. This project will help researchers to
better understand the effectiveness of e-mail as a form of communication in the workplace and as
a teaching tool. If this intervention proves to be effective, information about stress management
may be provided to a larger number of working adults than previously accomplished with more
traditional methods.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF RESEARCH RECORDS:
E-mail messages will be sent individually to protect the anonymity of each volunteer. A
subject number will identify each participant for the purposes of record keeping, and a master list
of all subject names and corresponding subject numbers will be stored in a locked file cabinet.
The volunteer's employer and manager will not be made aware of any of the responses or results
of any individual's participation before, during, or after the study. All results that are calculated,
discussed, or printed will be on a per-group basis. Any individual identifiers will be altered or
unreported to protect the identity of all participants.82
