Research Participants Needed! (it is just an interview)

You are invited to participate in a research study exploring employee experiences in the University of North Alabama’s worksite wellness program. This study is being conducted by Micah B. McGlathery, a doctoral candidate in Health Promotion and Exercise Science at the University of North Alabama, as part of a dissertation project.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how participation in wellness activities may influence employees’ confidence to exercise, physical wellness behaviors, and overall health experiences. Your perspective can help improve future wellness programming and support services for employees.

If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete one confidential, one-on-one interview lasting approximately 20–45 minutes. Interviews may take place in person at a private campus location or through secure videoconferencing. With your permission, the interview will be audio recorded to ensure accuracy. You may decline recording and may skip any question you do not wish to answer.

Participation is completely voluntary. There are no penalties for choosing not to participate, and your decision will not affect your employment or access to wellness services. You may stop participating at any time.

There are minimal risks associated with this study, similar to everyday conversation. While there is no direct benefit to you, your input may help improve future employee wellness initiatives.
