Developing the Survey
We, the UBC iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machines) team, invite you to take part in a survey that seeks to examine the general public's yogurt purchasing habits and whether your decision would be altered based on various factors such as taste, therapeutic properties, and genetically modified ingredients. Since our project this year involves genetic modifications that could potentially be used in the one of the bacteria responsible for producing yogurt, we are interested in the results of this survey. If you have any questions, we can be reached at: ubcigem@gmail.com.
By completing the questionnaire, it will be assumed that consent has been given.
If you have any concerns about your treatment or rights as a research subject, you may contact the Research Subject Information Line in the UBC Office of Research Services at 604-822-8598, or if long distance e-mail to RSIL@ors.ubc.ca
Survey
We would like to know your habits on yogurt and your views on genetically modified (GM) foods. GM foods are those that have been modified by genetic manipulation as defined by health Canada.
What brand of yogurt do you consume most often?
- __________________

Which size yogurt do you buy most often?
- Cups
- Drinkables
- Tub size
Who do you buy yogurt for?
- Yourself
- Your child
- Your spouse

Genetically Modified yogurt is a yogurt produced from bacteria that has been genetically modified to have different properties than that of the wild type. Would you consider using Genetically Modified yogurt if:
The price of GM yogurt was lower than that of non-GM yogurt? Not willing at all Very willing

GM yogurt has less ecological impact than non-GM yogurt? (for example the source of the raw product, the transportation carbon footprint etc.) Not willing at all Very willing

The GM yogurt produces flavoring is from renewable sources of energy (ie. wood and pulp) rather than petrochemicals?
Not willing at all Very willing

GM yogurt tasted better than non-GM yogurt? Not willing at all Very willing

GM yogurt is used as a therapeutic treatment for treating diseases? Not willing at all Very willing

GM yogurt was labeled and the genetic modification was explained on the label? Not willing at all Very willing

How likely would an individual be to use GM yogurt if it provided these health benefits
Health Benefit Not willing at all Very Willing Lower Cholesterol Lower Blood Sugar Provide vitamins
