Consent to indoor environment sensor, information in help text
Question text:
To understand how conditions inside people's homes vary, we would like to invite some households to place a sensor in their home for a period of time. The sensor will record things about indoor conditions such as air temperature, humidity, noise levels (but not actual sounds), light levels, and the presence of certain gases and microscopic particles in the air. Information collected by these sensors would be linked to the answers you have given in this study.
The sensor will be in your home for up to 6 months {if ff_esensdurw17 = 1} up to 12 months {if ff_esensdurw17 = 2} up to a year {if ff_esensdurw17 = 3} up to 24 months {if ff_esensdurw17 = 4} up to 2 years {if ff_esensdurw17 = 5}, and the team will contact you to arrange its return when it is time to do so.
A personalised report giving a summary comparing the conditions in your home to the average home will be sent to you once we have analysed the data. {if ff_esensfbw17 = 1}
Once you have returned the sensor, you will receive £20 as a thank you.
If you agree, we will send your name, address, telephone number, and â if you have provided it â email address to researchers at the University of Glasgow, who are partnering with Understanding Society to collect this data using sensors.
The number of sensors available for this study is limited, so not everyone who agrees to have a sensor will be sent one. It may also be that those who are happy to help with this part of the research may have to wait until later in the year for a sensor to be available.
Please read this leaflet on âIn-Home Sensorsâ for further information.
Do you give permission for us to pass your name, address telephone number, and email address to the University of Glasgow so they can send you a sensor to place in your home for up to 6 months {if ff_esensdurw17 = 1} up to 12 months {if ff_esensdurw17 = 2} up to a year {if ff_esensdurw17 = 3} up to 24 months {if ff_esensdurw17 = 4} up to 2 years {if ff_esensdurw17 = 5}?
Question universe:
