This program is not a commercial site. Instead, it is a research project funded by the U. S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) developed by researchers at three collaborating institutions: Oregon Research Institute, University of Melbourne, and University of Iowa.
Each study participant is assigned a unique identification number in order to protect her confidentiality. All research project staff have signed an agreement to protect participant privacy and confidentiality. All information collected from study participants is used only to further scientific knowledge about the treatment of postnatal depression. Any findings will be presented in summary form without revealing the personal identity of any individual participants. Findings will be reported to our sponsor, NIMH, and to the scientific community, through articles in professional journals and in conference presentations.
Information is collected from women to determine whether they are eligible to participate and to help us better understand their history and attitudes. We use industry-standard SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption to protect all data collected during screening and assessments. We also capture and save the type of information that many websites collect, such as IP address, browser type, the date, time of day, and duration of each visit as well as which pages are viewed. The program occasionally sends e-mail to its participants to encourage progress and participation in online assessments. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade personally identifying information with any third parties for any promotional purposes.
Uploaded Pictures: The program ensures the privacy and confidentiality of any pictures that a study participant uploads to the program. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade participant information with any third parties for any promotional purposes.
Web forum: Any personally identifiable information that a participant posts in a message in the Web forum can be read, collected, or used by other study participants. As a result, participants should avoid posting any information that others could use to identify them. The program is not responsible for the personally identifiable information any participant might share in the Web forum. Research staff have an ethical responsibility to notify appropriate public safety authorities if a participant posts a comment threatening to harm themselves or others.
Cookies: The program uses cookies or small text files stored on each participant's computer in order to keep track of their location in the program; these cookies only last for the period of time you are logged onto the program. Avoid making changes to browser settings that can cause the browser to reject cookies since the program will no longer work properly.
What if this privacy policy changes? No significant changes to this privacy policy are anticipated. If necessary changes are made, all study participants will be notified about these changes by e-mail.
