Us Girls Alive
Evaluation Survey
Parent Information Sheet
What is the purpose of the project?
The overall aim of the project is to evaluate the Us Girls Alive clubs which work with young
women aged 16-25 years old to improve their health and well-being.
Who is doing this evaluation and why?
The BHF National Centre for Physical Activity and Health at Loughborough University has been
asked by StreetGames (the organisation managing the Us Girls Alive project) to assess the
impact of this programme on young women. The findings from this project will help to improve
the future delivery of this type of health and well-being programme.
What will my daughter be required to do?
Your daughter is invited to take part in two surveys. The first survey will be completed once
your daughter starts taking part in the Us Girls Alive club, and the second survey will be
completed in 12 months’ time. The surveys may be completed online or using a paper version,
and it will ask your daughter some simple questions about her health, well-being and physical
activity levels.
What personal information will be required from my daughter?
Any personal information your daughter provides on the survey will be separated from her
answers. This means that we will not know who she is based on the answers she gives.
Will my daughter taking part in this study be kept confidential?
All information that your daughter provides will be kept strictly confidential and will be seen
only by the evaluation team at Loughborough University. Your daughter’s name or identity will
not be used when the project is written or talked about in the future. All information will be
stored in a secure format at Loughborough University to which only authorised personnel will
have access.
Once the study has started, can my daughter change their mind?
Yes! If at any time you or your daughter wish to withdraw from the study please just let the
investigator know. You or your daughter can withdraw at any time, for any reason and you/she
will not be asked to explain the reasons for withdrawing.
