Students were sent a link to a survey hosted on SurveyMonkey.com, a survey-hosting website, through their university-sponsored email accounts. For the students who did not participate immediately, two additional reminders were sent, 1 week apart. Participants were offered a chance to enter a drawing to win one of 90 $10 Amazon.com gift cards as incentive. A total of 1839 surveys were completed for an overall response rate of 48%.
