Introduction

Welcome to the online home page of VIEWpoint10. VIEWpoint10 is a continuation of the TeenView series of studies. In these studies, we are interested in understanding the psychological and physical health, quality of life, and behaviors of young adults as well as how these factors change over time with weight change. These studies are being conducted by researchers with young adults across the United States. As a study participant, you are being asked to complete a number of web-based questionnaires.

Some questions are of a sensitive nature. All of your answers are confidential so we ask that you try to answer every question as honestly as possible. No one will know how you personally answer. Your name will never be associated with any of the responses.

Thank you for your participation. The information that you provide is very important and will help us to provide better care in the future.
