Echolab at Virginia Tech is looking for teens ages 13-17 and parents to participate in a survey focused on protecting teens from online unwanted sexual solicitation (IRB # 24-1051). If you are interested, please check your eligibility. You and your teen are qualified if:  

• You are a parent/legal guardian of a teenager between the ages of 13 and 17 who is currently living with you. 

• Both you and your teen are fluent in English. 

• Both you and your teen are currently residing in the United States. 

• Your teen has their own smartphone 

• Your teen actively uses social media

The survey is estimated to take about 1 hour for your teen to complete. They will receive a $30 gift card or cash after completing the survey and successfully passing the quality check.

If your teen meets the criteria and is interested in participating in our study, we kindly ask the parents or legal guardians to fill out our registration survey at the link below, and our research team will reach out back to you and your teen later.
