PARO: Mental Health Supports for Women Entrepreneurs |
Introduction
PARO is researching the impacts of mental health and wellness on women entrepreneurs (WE). Addressing mental health concerns among female entrepreneurs is essential. Resources like mental health support, access to networks and mentorship, stress management techniques, and work-life balance advocacy can significantly help mitigate these challenges. To create adequate opportunities that address barriers faced by WE, PARO will use the information collected to increase awareness effectively in future strategic plans.
PARO has created a survey asking about your experience as a WE, the challenges you may face that impact your overall mental wellness, and the available resources.
This survey is conducted with the utmost respect for your privacy and confidentiality. Your participation is voluntary, and all information collected will be kept strictly confidential. To ensure your privacy, your responses will be anonymized, and no personally identifiable information will be linked to your answers.
All data collected will be securely stored on password-protected servers accessible only to authorized personnel involved in the mental health and wellness project. We employ industry-standard security measures to safeguard your information.
Only authorized personnel will have access to the raw data. The findings will be aggregated and generalized, ensuring that individual responses cannot be traced back to any participant. Your information will not be disclosed to any third party without your explicit consent except as required by law.
Data collected will be retained for the duration necessary for analysis and research purposes for the mental health and wellness report. After this period, all identifiable information will be securely deleted, preserving the anonymity of participants.
By participating in this survey, you acknowledge and agree that the information provided will be used for research purposes only. Your voluntary participation implies your consent to the terms outlined in this confidentiality clause.
Some topics or questions may be unsettling for some. During the survey, if these questions prompt unwanted negative emotions, please consult a professional mental health provider.
