How does the study work?

We will ask you to complete four computer-based surveys over the course of a year.  These surveys will ask you questions about your health, your recent behaviors, your attitudes towards the community, and so on.  For each survey you'll receive $50 for your time.  After you complete the very first survey, we'll ask you to participate in either a discussion group with other guys from the study or an individual discussion session with one of our staff.  For each discussion session you participate in, you'll recieve $30.  After you have completed the discussion sessions, we'll ask you to come back into our office to complete the same survey again after 3, 6, and 12 months.  Plus, we'll give you $20 just for signing up!
