The Story Gallery

When you submit a story, you may choose to submit personal details such as

• Your first name
• Your age
• Your gender (ie, male or female)
• Your postcode

What will happen to this information?
If your story is selected for the Story Gallery, your first name and age will be put with it on the web site.
If you don’t want to be identified, we suggest you give yourself a different name on your entry, eg calling yourself Trudi if you are Sarah
Your gender, age, postcode information and some details from your story may be used in the report about this project. Your name will not be used. Postcodes will only be used for statistics, eg 25% of story answers came from country Victoria.

The Survey

How do we maintain your privacy?

• If you accidentally write something that identifies you or anyone else, it will be deleted
• The web survey forms will be held in locked storage at LaTrobe University or The Alfred Hospital. Only the project team can read them. They will be shredded after 20 years.

What will happen to the information from this survey?
The Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health & Society will analyse the data resulting from this survey. Recommended changes will be made to the web activity, if it is practical to make the changes. The project team will prepare a report and write an article for a journal/magazine. Copies of the full report will be available mid 2004.
Information about the web activity, the article and the report will be circulated through health education teacher and school nurse newsletters. The report and a summary of the report will also be available on the Access Information Centre web site.
