Deanne and all, I was just writing a response regarding IRB (human subjects). There are so many stipulations that prevent us from accessing Facebook or Myspace OR providing incentives to former students. But when school districts are conducting the surveys things are a little easier. Teachers and districts can do some things that we at the university cannot. Cinda Dr. Cinda Johnson, Ed.D.

As a researcher who has been collecting transition related information on youth involved in the juvenile justice system after they leave closed custody, we have found that youth typically don't use e-mail anymore and are texters or facebook users (or other social networking sources). Needless to say, we have had great difficulties in keeping in contact with the youth once they leave closed custody. We have looked into using Facebook, but unfortunately, have not figured out a way to use it that would protect the confidentiality of the youth that would pass by our Institutional Review Board for Research on Human Subjects. If someone knows a way...let me know.
