Before you get started -- some stuff you should know:
After you fill out the survey, we will review your responses. If you appear to be a possible match to our client's research criteria we will call you
to verify your responses and ask you some additional questions to determine if you fully qualify. Please note that simply filling out the survey does not automatically qualify you for the study. Also, due to a potential high volume of responses, we may only be able to respond to those who appear to be a possible match.
