To verify if you and your partner may be eligible to participate in the Heart-2-Heart Research Study we are asking you to complete this online eligibility screen. 

Participation in this online eligibility screen will take about 5 minutes. In this eligibility screen, we will ask you for your first and last name, phone number, e-mail address, date of birth, city, and state of residency. As well as questions about your relationship status, questions about your romantic partner, and if there has been a recent suicide related event.

All responses are treated as confidential. Be aware that confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible. There is always the risk of compromising privacy, confidentiality and/or anonymity when using the internet. There is the possible risk of feeling uncomfortable about answering a question. You do not need to answer any question that you do not want to answer. This study is supported by NIH, and study information may be reviewed by NIH representatives. Authorized representatives from the University of Pittsburgh Office of Research Protections may review your data solely for the purpose of monitoring the conduct of this study. 

Participation is voluntary. Refusal to fill out the eligibility screen will have no effect on your current or future relationship with the University of Pittsburgh, or your current or future medical care at a UPMC hospital or affiliated health care provider, or your current or future relationship with a health care insurance provider.
