Submit to umurj here.
Accepting submissions until March 15, 2024 (Authors are encouraged to submit in the fall semester or at their earliest convenience)
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be in APA Style. Download these guidelines as a PDF .
I. OVERVIEW
The Journal will accept research articles, reviews, abstracts and reports authored by undergraduate students. Mentors and faculty members may act as secondary authors, but submitted articles must be composed primarily by undergraduate students. The work must be an original article. A research article submission must include experimental and/or survey evidence as the basis for the conclusions of the author(s) for it to be considered research-related. Submissions may be about technical research, but must be written at a more general level appropriate for the broad readership of the journal. Prospective authors should submit a complete copy of the work online, in Microsoft Word (doc/docx) format, via the UMURJ website (www.umurj.org). The submitted manuscript cannot be published or undergoing review in another undergraduate research journal. Publication in UMURJ will not generally hinder the publication of the author’s work in any professional journals due to the non-exclusive, general, and non-technical nature of our journal. However, each professional journal has its own guidelines and more specific questions of this nature should be directed to the UMURJ Editors-in-Chief through the email address listed above.
II. TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS
The main purpose of UMURJ is to publish high-quality original research articles written by undergraduates. Thus, full-length research articles will be given highest preference in publication over other formats. Other submissions will be considered on a case-by-case basis, including Reviews, Reports, Interviews, and Abstracts (described below). Please read the descriptions provided below and determine which category your work falls under. More complete guidelines on submission formats for each category of work are given in the next section, Submission Requirements. We encourage you to send in your work regardless of category, and to direct any questions you have to our Editors-in-Chief via email.
Original Research Article
An original research article should report motivations for research and relevant literature, methods, experimental data, discussion, and subsequent conclusions while assuming a reader of limited technical understanding. Submitted manuscripts must concern original research (i.e. novel methodologies, new results, or different interpretations). The primary author of the article must have completed the majority of the research described. Senior honors thesis work will be accepted under this category.
Submission of short research abstracts will allow students to showcase their work-in- progress to the wider campus community. Students who may be interested in submitting abstracts include underclassmen, beginning researchers, individuals who have done extensive work on a project but may not yet have a full-length research article prepared.
A review summarizes past research performed in a specific academic concentration and discusses possible future directions for research in that field in an accessible manner. We suggest that University of Michigan faculty who specialize in the field reviewed should also be mentioned.
A report will be a brief presentation of an undergraduate student’s research. This submission will be more developed than an abstract but typically does not have the well- developed results and conclusions of a complete research article. The purpose of a report will be to educate other undergraduates about an interesting and promising area of research.
An interview of a researcher or another individual closely connected to research may be conducted by a student and submitted to the Journal with the signed consent of the person interviewed. We suggest that other faculty who specialize in the same field as the interviewee should be mentioned.
III. SUBMISSION PREPARATION
Formatting guidelines.
All submissions must be in a Microsoft Word document format. Text should be double- spaced, in Times New Roman 12-pt font. All files should be named beginning with the last name of the primary author (Example: lastname_MainText.doc) Individual presentation of the submission may vary slightly depending on the nature of the research; however, work submitted to UMURJ must adhere to the following guidelines:
- The maximum length is fifteen pages double-spaced. Honors theses can be shortened to comprise the central premise, results, and conclusions in order to be eligible for publication in UMURJ. Shorter papers are welcome. However, we are open to considering papers over the 15-page limit should there be difficulty in shortening them. Contact the Editors-in-Chief beforehand should this be an issue.
- Images and data figures should be included in the body of the article, and should be numbered and accompanied by a brief descriptive caption. Images should be properly referenced within the text, and their relation to the surrounding text should be clearly outlined. Authors should have high resolution image files, (300 dpi) and preferably in TIFF, PNG, and JPEG format. Following submission of the research paper, editorial staff will ask for these high-quality images during the review and acceptance process.
It is expected that all research article submissions contain the following sections. Submissions that fail to include one or more of these sections may cause delays in the review process, and may not be published in UMURJ. Please exclude personal identifiers from the main content file to help us ensure an unbiased review!
The cover page should include the title of the work, and the 300 word abstract.
Titles should be brief descriptions containing keywords. They should not be full sentences.
An abstract should be limited to a concise paragraph (300 words) that summarizes the major arguments of the submission and explains the most compelling motivations for performing the research. The abstract should provide a background sufficient to establish a context for understanding the research, summarize the research article itself, and highlight the major results.
Main Content
Although it is preferred that submissions be written for the non-specialist (someone who is not an expert in the field addressed in the article) we recognize that this is not always entirely possible. However, we do require that the author make an effort in reflecting on the implications of the research and drawing the relevant conclusions. The Sweetland Writing Center is recommended as a resource in helping draft and refine the mechanics of your submission. We advise that submitters request colleagues in different fields to read their final draft before submission for confirmation of the article’s comprehensibility. The research article itself may be organized into the following sections: introduction, methods, results, conclusion, references, appendices (if applicable).
Images and Data Representation
Tables: Each table should appear on a separate page. Please include a title, appropriate SI units, a short, descriptive caption, and a legend with each table. All tables must be in Black & White. Figures: Figures may be inserted directly into the document, but the images should not be overlaid or resized. Restrict all DNA/amino acid sequences, chemical schemes, mathematical equations, etc. to a level comprehensible to the general public. Four to six figures are recommended. If a manuscript is selected or seriously considered for publication, UMURJ editors will request high resolution figures. It is preferred that figures are sent as separate attachments. Each figure should never exceed 5 MB, and the advised file type is TIFF, although PNG and JPEG will also be accepted. Magnified images should include magnification and bars for scale. Graphs: Each graph should be titled. The ordinate and abscissa should be labeled with the measured parameter and the units of measure, but the graph should not be cluttered with scale lines. Colored or shaded lines should not be used on graphs. Instead, solid or open symbols should be used to represent different lines. The background of each graph should be white. A copy of each graph should be saved in case future revisions are necessary. It is preferable that graphs be in black & white; however we recognize that in many cases this is not possible. Data presented in figures should describe statistical significance by the convention of * for p=0.05, ** for p=0.01, and *** for p=.001 or lower.
Acknowledgements
Sources of funding or technical assistance should be addressed in a separate acknowledgements section in the submission form ( exclude acknowledgements from the main content file to ensure a blinded review process!).
The reference format required for the journal Science Signaling will be used for all works submitted to UMURJ, regardless of subject-area. This is to facilitate cohesiveness and uniformity throughout our multidisciplinary research journal. Citations should be professional, organized, and readers should easily be able to trace referenced works in the body of the paper. Failure to appropriately cite relevant information will cause the work to be rejected for publication. References must include all authors, full titles of journal articles, the journal abbreviation, the volume, the first and last page, and the year of publication. Within the text, references must be cited by number. An example of the citation style is below:
1. J. J. Tesmer, R. K. Sunahara, A. G. Gilman, S. R. Sprang, Crystal structure of the catalytic domains of adenylyl cyclase in a complex with Gs·GTP-γ-S. Science 278, 1907-1916 (1997).
IV. POST-SUBMISSION CORRESPONDENCE
Following submission of the research article, abstract, or other work to UMURJ, authors will receive Mentor and Author Agreement forms to be filled out and returned as quickly as possible. Authors will also be requested to submit high-quality image files as described above.
- Research completed under the supervision of a faculty member must be accompanied by a mentor agreement form indicating acceptance of the terms of UMURJ publication and affirming that the paper is the work of the submitting student author.
- All submissions must be accompanied by a completed author agreement form, indicating acceptance of the terms of UMURJ publication, particularly the stipulation that any work appearing in UMURJ may not be published in any other undergraduate research journal.
The author will receive confirmation that UMURJ has received his/her article no more than two weeks after submission. The article will be reviewed by a student editing team in the specific subject area of the submission (Humanities; Social Sciences; Physical Sciences, Mathematics & Engineering; Biological Sciences). Communications with the author will be through Associate editors in the subject area, or through the Editors-in-Chief of the journal. Notification of article acceptance or rejection will occur by the 10th of February. The author must respond to a notification of acceptance within one weeks. If a reply is not received within this time frame, the original submitted article may or may not be published. After acceptance of a submission, the author will work with associate editors and copy editors to revise and enhance the submission for publication. An associate editor in the subject area will have assistance in evaluating the technical aspects of the article from Faculty experts in the field. Authors are expected to respond to requests for a revision of an article by February 2nd.
V. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Members of the University of Michigan Undergraduate Research Journal editorial team currently may not submit works in the same manner as any other student, except as an interview as described above.

Three major missions of the Psychology Department are to:
- Create new scientific knowledge in Psychology
- Train graduate students to become active contributors of scientific knowledge
- Impart to undergraduates the excitement of studying Psychology through the scientific method
The Psychology faculty at the University of Michigan are productive researchers, including many leaders in the field. We have numerous research labs that not only create knowledge but also provide myriad opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in research. As a research university we believe that active participation in all aspects of the research process provides students with a unique, hands-on learning experience—deep learning experiences and opportunities that sharpen critical thinking skills.
The research findings of our faculty receive broad attention from national and international media, with stories that run the gamut across the field of psychology: suicide terrorism, the effects of TV violence on children, multitasking, women and depression, fear and the brain, the value of volunteering, differences between the modes of thought of westerners and those of Asians, and the list goes on.
We have active research labs that study a wide variety of topics, including:
- African-American racial identity
- Solo status
- Human brain electrophysiology
- Human performance and cognition
- Visual and verbal working memory
- Affective neuroscience and biopsychology
- Neuronal mechanisms of movement and reward
- Sibling rivalry
- Decision-making
- Second language acquisition
- The effects of schooling
- Culture and motivation
One of the strengths of our Department—and of the University of Michigan more generally—is a commitment to interdiscplinary studies. This involves fostering cross-area research within various subfields of psycholology, as well as nurturing new research programs that bring together psychologists, researchers and scholars from across the social sciences, the humanities and the natural sciences.

Research Data
Research using iris data.
IRIS data are useful for analyzing the social and economic effects of research investments, the scientific production function, the career outcomes and earnings of doctoral students and trainees, questions pertaining to science and engineering workforce and the STEM pipeline among many other possible topics . Recent IRIS data use cases include studies to determine how research experience shapes the career pathways of students; to examine how federally funded research yields safer and more secure food systems; to analyze gender differences in graduate studies and early career pathways within STEM fields; to explore the way scientific knowledge is translated into society by the public service activities of faculty; and to measure how university vendors produce additional innovations and contribute to regional growth. IRIS encourages researchers from all disciplines to apply for approval to access IRIS data.
IRIS researchers will receive
- access to IRIS data in a secure Virtual Data Enclave (VDE)
- the ability to transfer work to approved Census FSRDC projects*
- research support and training materials
- 10 privacy/confidentiality protected disclosures per year
IRIS researchers will contribute
- improvements to documentation and future data releases
- citations to and copies of research papers using IRIS data
About the IRIS Research Dataset
IRIS curates, documents, and distributes , subject to responsible privacy and confidentiality restrictions, a research dataset . The dataset includes de-identified IRIS data, public elements of external datasets (e.g., grants and publications), and crosswalk files to match particular data elements (e.g., awards, awardees, research employees) across IRIS data and external datasets. The dataset is released every two years (it was released annually between 2017 and 2020).
IRIS has released a research dataset five times since March 2017, and a mirror of the dataset with linkages to restricted Census Bureau data is released via the Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC) system annually around May . IRIS also produces supplementary data releases when new data products are prepared for sharing between regular releases .
Accessing the IRIS Research Dataset
Applications to access the dataset must include a description of the relevant research project; an IRB determination letter from the relevant institution; completion of training; and, for researchers at institutions that are not members of IRIS, payment of a seat fee.
For more details and to download the required forms, visit our “Research Data Access” page.

Find Poster & Large Format Printing
Tabloid, poster, and other large format printing are available at select Campus Computing locations (also known as Sites). To find a location that offers these services:
- Use the Print & Copy filters on the Campus Computing Locations map , or
- Search MPrint destinations for "tabloid" or "poster"
Two Ways to Print Posters
Campus Computing now offers a free pre-order service for printing posters in advance, which can be picked up at the Angell Hall Computing Site ("Fishbowl") or the GroundWorks Computer Lab (paused until further notice) in the Duderstadt Building. You can also print posters yourself at the Fishbowl, where consultants are available to help you if you need support.
1. Pre-Order & Pick Up
Posters can be pre-ordered for pick-up from both the Fishbowl at Angell Hall and the Groundworks lab (paused until further notice) at the Duderstadt Center. The pre-order process can only be completed on an on-campus network (primarily MWireless for most students, staff, and faculty). Initiating the process off campus will fail, and you won’t be able to load the site for submitting your pre-order.
All Pre-Orders must allow 24 hours for processing, assuming that there are no problems with the file or billing information; if there are file or billing errors, the order will require additional processing time. Time-sensitive orders must be submitted as early as possible to ensure timely processing, and we recommend pre-ordering to Fishbowl or visiting Fishbowl as there is less chance of delay. You will receive an email from the Tech Help team when your poster is ready for pick up at the Fishbowl or GroundWorks (paused until further notice). Once you receive this email, your poster will be available for 14 days before being recycled. Please follow the Poster Printing Tips below when you submit your poster . Please note that the only accepted file format is PDF.
Pre-Order Options
Fishbowl @ Angell Hall
- Allow 24 hours for processing
- You will get an email notifying you when it is ready for pick-up
- Preferred pick-up location if poster is needed within 48 hours of submission
Tech Shop @ Pierpont
- Allow 48 to 72 hours for processing and transportation
No delivery on Saturday or Sunday; posters ordered after the deadline for Friday delivery will be delivered on Monday.
- Will get an email notifying you when it is ready for pick-up
- If you need your poster urgently, we recommend selecting Fishbowl pick-up. If there are issues with funding or the file being printed, these can slow down the print and transfer process.
Advantages of pre-ordering your poster include:
- Experienced professionals will review your order to minimize printing mistakes
- No waiting in line for the printer or for the print job to complete
- Poster will be cut-to-size (with some white space remaining) and packed in a clear plastic sleeve
Need help submitting? Follow these step-by-step instructions for filling out the submission form.
2. Print Yourself
Print to “Poster Follow Me” from a Sites Windows Computer, such as the computers found in the Fishbowl.
Visit the Poster Release Page . From here you can delete or preview your print job(s), review the total cost, size dimensions, and view a print preview of the desired output.
Once you are ready to release the poster, you can select “Release” from the preview screen and choose your desired Poster Printer.
If you are having trouble and/or would like assistance, please talk to Tech Help staff, located in the central hub at the Angell Hall "Fishbowl" Computing Site. They would be happy to walk you through the process and are always available during business hours at the Fishbowl or Tech Shop location.
Poster Printing Tips
It takes time to set up files correctly for poster printing, so make sure you reserve extra time to print.
- Printing at Fishbowl? See a Tech Help consultant for help to ensure your poster is printed correctly.
- It is strongly recommended to use a Sites Windows PC for the poster printing process; Macintosh can cause print issues with posters and doesn’t have our recommended software installed.
- The poster printer can print the entire 40" width of the paper. Please include a margin in your poster design if a margin is desired. Make sure you know what dimensions you are looking for when printing your poster to appropriately size the document.
- Avoid using transparent colors.
- Use images and graphs that are saved as TIF, PNG, or EPS and have a minimum of 150 ppi (pixels per inch) to avoid pixelated appearance.
- Save or convert files to CMYK color model before printing. The RGB color model is the default on most software and is optimized for digital screens, not printing. Use Photoshop, available on Campus Computing Sites computers, to change the color model (Image menu and select Mode > CMYK).
- It is strongly recommended to save your poster in the PDF format before printing in order to guarantee the best possible experience. This can easily be done by choosing "Print to PDF" if your file is in a different format.
- If using the Poster Pre-Order option, the file must be in PDF format.
Looking to scan a large poster or document?
Poster Printer 1 at the Angell Hall “Fishbowl” Computing Site can scan posters up to 40” wide. Get support for scanning large documents.
Purchasing Additional Print Credits
- Faculty, Staff, Sponsored Affiliates, and Alumni with a uniqname can purchase print credits from the Tech Shop .
- Please see Purchasing Additional Print Credits for a process overview.
Using Shortcodes for Posters
- If you need to use a Shortcode for printing posters, please visit MPrint Accounts .
- If your request is approved, the new account will be provisioned by MPrint. It will appear in the order menu when you print or pre-order a poster as an available account to be charged.
As the nation’s largest public research university, the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) aims to catalyze, support and safeguard U-M research and scholarship activity.
The Office of the Vice President for Research oversees a variety of interdisciplinary units that collaborate with faculty, staff, students and external partners to catalyze, support and safeguard research and scholarship activity.
ORSP manages pre-award and some post-award research activity for U-M. We review contracts for sponsored projects applying regulatory, statutory and organizational knowledge to balance the university's mission, the sponsor's objectives, and the investigator's intellectual pursuits.
Ethics and compliance in research covers a broad range of activity from general guidelines about conducting research responsibly to specific regulations governing a type of research (e.g., human subjects research, export controls, conflict of interest).
eResearch is U-M's site for electronic research administration. Access: Regulatory Management (for IRB or IBC rDNA applications); Proposal Management (eRPM) for the e-routing, approval, and submission of proposals (PAFs) and Unfunded Agreements (UFAs) to external entities); and Animal Management (for IACUC protocols and ULAM).
Sponsored Programs manages the post-award financial activities of U-M's research enterprise and other sponsored activities to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws as well as sponsor regulations. The Office of Contract Administration (OCA) is also part of the Office of Finance - Sponsored Programs.

Informed Consent Guidelines & Templates
U-m hrpp informed consent information.
See the HRPP Operations Manual, Part 3, Section III, 6 e .
The human subjects in your project must participate willingly , having been adequately informed about the research.
- If the human subjects are part of a vulnerable population (e.g., prisoners, cognitively impaired individuals, or children), special protections are required.
- If the human subjects are children , in most cases you must first obtain the permission of parents in addition to the consent of the children.
Contact the IRB Office for more information .
See the Waiver Guidelines for information about, and policies regarding, waivers for informed consent or informed consent documentation.
See the updated Basic Informed Consent Elements document for a list of 2018 Common Rule basic and additional elements.
Informed Consent Process
Informed consent is the process of telling potential research participants about the key elements of a research study and what their participation will involve. The informed consent process is one of the central components of the ethical conduct of research with human subjects. The consent process typically includes providing a written consent document containing the required information (i.e., elements of informed consent) and the presentation of that information to prospective participants.
In most cases, investigators are expected to obtain a signature from the participant on a written informed consent document (i.e., to document the consent to participate) unless the IRB has waived the consent requirement or documentation (signature) requirement .
- Projects which collect biospecimens for genetic analysis must obtain documented (signed) informed consent.
- It is an ethical best practice to include an informed consent process for most exempt research . IRB-HSBS reviews, as applicable, the IRB application for exempt research, but not the informed consent document itself.

Informed consent documents
An informed consent document is typically used to provide subjects with the information they need to make a decision to volunteer for a research study. Federal regulations ( 45 CFR 46.116 ) provide the framework for the type of information (i.e., the "elements") that must be included as part of the consent process. New with the revised 2018 Common Rule is the requirement that the consent document begin with a "concise and focused" presentation of key information that will help potential participants understand why they might or might not want to be a part of a research study.
Key Information Elements
The image below displays the five elements identified in the preamble to the revised Final Rule as suggested key information.
Note: Element number 5 (alternative procedures) applies primarily to clinical research.
General Information & Tips for Preparing a Consent Document
Reading level.
Informed consent documents should be written in plain language at a level appropriate to the subject population, generally at an 8th grade reading level . A best practice is to have a colleague or friend read the informed consent document for comprehension before submission with the IRB application. Always:
For guidance on using plain language, examples, and more, visit: http://www.plainlanguage.gov/
- Tailor the document to the subject population.
- Avoid technical jargon or overly complex terms.
- Use straightforward language that is understandable.
Writing tips
The informed consent document should succinctly describe the research as it has been presented in the IRB application.
- Use the second (you) or third person (he/she) to present the study details. Avoid use of the first person (I).
- Include a statement of agreement at the conclusion of the informed consent document.
- The consent doucment must be consistent with what is described in the IRB application.
Document Formating for Uploading into eResearch
- Remove "track changes" or inserted comments from the consent documentation prior to uploading the document into the IRB application (Section 10-1) for review.
- Use a consistent, clearly identified file naming convention for multiple consent/assent documents.
Informed Consent Templates
IRB-HSBS strongly recommends that investigators use one of the informed consent templates developed to include the required consent elements (per 45 CFR 46.116 ), as well as other required regulatory and institutional language. The templates listed below include the new consent elements outlined in the 2018 Common Rule.

After passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, manufacturers have developed products derived from hemp (cannabis containing <0.3% Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol [Δ9-THC]) featuring emerging cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), 1 Δ8-THC, 2 cannabigerol (CBG), 3 and cannabinol (CBN). It is currently unknown how widely these products are used. Our goal was to characterize past-year use prevalence and factors associated with use of CBD, Δ8-THC, CBG, and CBN among US adults.
We conducted a cross-sectional survey study of adults 18 years or older using the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) AmeriSpeak panel between June 22 and 26, 2023. This probability-based panel has a recruitment rate of 34% and consists of approximately 54 000 people representing 96% of US households. Participants were recruited by NORC and freely consented to participate. This investigation was reviewed and approved by the NORC institutional review board and considered an exempt study (federal exemption 2) by the University of Michigan institutional review board. We followed the AAPOR reporting guideline.
We assessed past-year cannabis, CBD, Δ8-THC, CBG, and CBN use and whether participants had heard of emerging cannabinoids in the past year (eAppendix in Supplement 1 ). These cannabinoids were selected based on recently published clinical reports. 1 - 3 Using logistic regression models, we investigated associations of demographic and cannabis use characteristics with any emerging cannabinoid use and Δ8-THC use. All P values were from 2-sided tests, and results were deemed statistically significant at P < .05. Analyses included sampling weights such that estimates are representative of the US adult population with respect to sex, age, educational level, race and ethnicity, and region. Analyses were performed in R, version 4.1.1 (R Project for Statistical Computing).
Overall, 1169 of 6666 panelists (17.5%) to whom the survey was released completed it (AAPOR research response rate, 2.9%). Among the participants (51.7% women; median age, 48 years [IQR, 33-63 years]), 26.3% reported past-year cannabis use ( Table 1 ). Overall, 71.7% participants heard of CBD compared with 41.2%, 18.4%, and 16.8% for Δ8-THC, CBG, and CBN, respectively. Similarly, 21.1% reported past-year CBD use compared with 11.9%, 5.2%, and 4.4% for Δ8-THC, CBG, and CBN, respectively; 25.2% of participants reported past-year use of any emerging cannabinoid. Past-year cannabis use was associated with higher odds of using any emerging cannabinoid (odds ratio [OR], 23.9 [95% CI, 14.2-40.2]; P < .001), whereas non-Hispanic Black race (OR, 0.36 [95% CI, 0.15-0.88]; P = .02) was associated with lower odds of using any emerging cannabinoid ( Table 2 ). Residing in states with medical (OR, 0.44 [95% CI, 0.21-0.90]; P = .02) or recreational (OR, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.22-0.91]; P = .03) cannabis laws was negatively associated with Δ8-THC use.
We provide the first estimates, to our knowledge, of past-year use prevalence of CBN, Δ8-THC, and CBG in the US. A Gallup poll reported that 14% of US adults personally used CBD in 2019 1 ; our reported 21% use prevalence of CBD represents a 50% increase over the past 4 years. Prevalence of past-year cannabis use was somewhat higher than in other studies but was similarly associated with younger age, 4 and past-year cannabis use was also associated with using emerging cannabinoid products. Higher Δ8-THC use in states without medical or adult-use cannabis laws suggests that cannabis prohibition may unintentionally promote Δ8-THC use. There are few controlled human studies with emerging cannabinoids, but surveys suggest these products are used for treating sleep or pain 1 and in place of other drugs, including pain medications. 2
Based on these results, we support ongoing public health surveillance efforts targeting emerging cannabinoids because of lack of industry standards to protect consumers and similar pharmacology or effects of Δ9-THC and its hemp-derived impairing analogues (eg, Δ8-THC), which may be of particular concern for adolescents and young adults. 5 Study limitations included not assessing emerging cannabinoid use patterns (eg, dose and use frequency) and possible sampling biases, although NORC implements probability-based recruitment best practices for their AmeriSpeak panel. 6 Our results highlight the importance of future research to better understand perceptions of safety, motivations for use, and outcomes of use of these products.
