Those who completed the baseline survey were subsequently invited via email to complete a follow-up assessment between weeks 7 and 14 of the spring semester of their freshman year. Of those who completed the baseline assessment and who were still enrolled at the University (5,893 participants), 4,410 also completed the follow-up assessment (75% retention). This study was approved by the Virginia Commonwealth University Institutional Review Board. Participants read through an on-line consent document and indicated that they understood the potential risks and benefits of participating, and were paid $10 for each survey.
