Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and you may, without negative consequences, decline to take part or withdraw from participation without providing an explanation at any time during the survey.

Where can I see the results of the survey?

You can visit the ASHR3 website for further information about the study and for the results when they are published.

How is my privacy protected?

Your privacy is protected by law and your responses are kept safe in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). The data will be collected, made confidential and securely stored by the Social Research Centre (a subsidiary of the Australian National University) and at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).

 

The data will be analysed and results reported at an aggregate level only (without identifying individuals) by the research team at UNSW. Along with published reports, results will be communicated in the media and used for further academic research.

Are there any risks involved?

We do not expect there will be any risks or costs associated with taking part in the survey. However, some participants may feel uncomfortable discussing their relationships and sexual health. If any of the questions raise concerns for you, we encourage you to seek support. Two key support services are 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) and Lifeline (13 11 14).

 

The Social Research Centre has a host of systems and processes in place to minimise the risk that third parties could access confidential data.
