young women who participated in any of these programs at least 5 years  
ago and are 18 years old or older, please forward this to them too!

voluntary and free. At the end of the questionnaire, you will be able  
to decide whether you would be willing to participate in additional  
parts of the study but you are under no obligation to do so. Later  
phases will include face-to-face interviews and facilitated discussion  
groups.

to hear all perspectives, so please know that we want to talk with you  
no matter what your views about the program you participated in!
