Participants Needed - Study on Health Risk Behavior and Identity

March 13, 2026

We are currently conducting a study examining self-identity and possible associations to

health-risk behavioral intentions. This study is approved by the BSU IRB [FY2026-308].

To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years of age and currently engaging in

one of four health-risk behaviors: binge drinking, current smoking, lack of leisure time

physical activity, or having a short sleep duration.

You will be asked to respond to an online questionnaire asking about your health

risk-behavior intentions, self-identity, and demographics. The questionnaire should take

approximately 10 minutes.
