You may benefit directly from this study by gaining new knowledge about udder health and animal care through short, easy training lessons. These lessons are designed to be helpful, practical, and easy to use in your daily work on the dairy.

By participating, you also help improve training for other dairy workers in the future. Your feedback helps us create better and clearer learning materials for the dairy industry.

If you complete 8 lessons, you will receive a $20 gift card. Available to the first 100 participants.

If you complete all 10 lessons, you will also receive a certificate of completion.

• We will only study de-identified data. This means your name and email or WhatsApp number are removed.
• The information will not be shared with the farm where you work or anyone outside the study team.
• The information will not be used for any other purpose.

The purpose of this research is to find out which types of short online training lessons Hispanic dairy workers in New York State prefer and learn from best. The results will help improve future training programs and will be shared in scientific publications to support better education across the dairy industry.

You are invited to take part in a research project from Cornell University.

In this project, you will complete 10 short training lessons (2–3 minutes each) about milking, udder health, and animal care. After each lesson, you will answer 6 questions:

• 3 questions about what you learned
• 3 questions to give your opinion

Your answers will help us improve dairy training for workers like you.

There is little to no risk in taking part. You can stop at any time or skip any question. Your name and answers will be kept private.
