WHO WILL SEE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU GIVE?

When we write about or share the results from the study, we will write about the combined information. We will keep your name and other identifying information private and confidential. In order to maximize the protection of all participants identities while maintaining the value and integrity of the data in this study, as the researcher I will use pseudonyms, remove identifying information from transcripts and all data will be coded.

We will make every effort to prevent anyone who is not on the research team (Doctoral Committee) from knowing that you gave us information, or what that information is. All information will be securely stored on my personal computer and personal hard drive locked in a safe and secure portable storage box to protect confidentiality of data, including computer records, audio/video recordings, researcher’s journal, jump drives, and portable storage devices.
You should know that there are some circumstances in which we may have to show your information to other people because this is my research project towards completion of my Doctorate in Educational Leadership. For example, the law may require us to share your information with:

• 
  the University of Kentucky and my doctoral committee who may look at or copy pertinent portions of records that identify you.
