All biological samples will be destroyed in the extraction process and can not be used beyond the purpose of this study.
The results of this study may be published in scientific research journals or presented at professional conferences. However, your name and identity will not be collected and your record will remain anonymous.
The researchers will store all data associated with your participation connected to a number, not your name or contact information. These numbers will be sequential four-digit numbers (e.g., 1001, 1002, etc.).
Personal contact information will be kept separate from your data. To protect confidentiality data from this study will be protected on encrypted computers and only stored on SLU protected databases. The Saint Louis University Institutional Review Board (the Board that is responsible for protecting the welfare of persons who take part in research studies) or other University officials may review your research study records. State or federal laws or court orders may also require that information from your research study records be released.
Your data and samples collected as part of this research, even if identifiers are removed, will not be used or distributed for future research studies.
