You have been asked to participate in a research study evaluating parent's attitudes about their children spending time outdoors and their children's overall health. A total of 300 adults have been asked to participate in this study. The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between parent's attitudes about their children spending time outdoors and their children's overall health.

This study is anonymous as it is online and no name is required to take the survey. The records of this study will be kept private. No identifiers linking you to the study will be included in any sort of report that might be published.
