Summary
The 2016 and 2020 elections in the United States have raised questions about the stability of cultures, practices, and institutions that sustain principles of popular sovereignty. Long-running concerns in the United States about voters’ capacity for deliberation and judgment have urgently come to the fore. What does this mean for college students, many of whom are coming of age politically as newly enfranchised participants in democratic life? This chapter reports the results of a course that brought together first-year college students at two different colleges – one a large, southern public university and another a small, liberal arts college in the northeast. The course was designed to challenge taken-for-granted assumptions about democracy by triangulating democratic theory, social scientific research, and the students’ own on-the-ground investigations, and to prompt student reflection on their democratic participatory lives in a moment of deep popular unrest and elite cynicism about the prospects for self-governance. We document and examine the course, emphasizing connections between the pedagogy and principles under discussion.

Introduction
The patient portal may be an effective method for administering surveys regarding participant research experiences but has not been systematically studied.
MethodsWe evaluated 4 methods of delivering a research participant perception survey: mailing, phone, email, and patient portal. Participants of research studies were identified (n=4013) and 800 were randomly selected to receive a survey, 200 for each method. Outcomes included response rate, survey completeness, and cost.
ResultsAmong those aged <65 years, response rates did not differ between mail, phone, and patient portal (22%, 29%, 30%, p>0.07). Among these methods, the patient portal was the lowest-cost option. Response rates were significantly lower using email (10%, p<0.01), the lowest-cost option. In contrast, among those aged 65+ years, mail was superior to the electronic methods (p<0.02).
ConclusionsThe patient portal was among the most effective ways to reach research participants, and was less expensive than surveys administered by mail or telephone.
