Arthritis and Physical Activity Online Study

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am a research coordinator in the College of Kinesiology at the University of

Saskatchewan. I am working for Dr. Gyurcsik, who was given a multi-study

research grant by the federal granting agency the Social Sciences and Humanities

Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The purpose of the grant is to study what

may or may not keep women with arthritis from doing physical activity.

We are currently recruiting women, at least 21 years of age, who have been told

by their doctor that they have arthritis.

To participate in this study, these women only need to fill out 2 short online

surveys, which can be done from any computer. The first survey takes about 25

minutes, and the second is a 5-minute follow-up survey 2 weeks later.

All participants and their answers will be anonymous. (The University of

Saskatchewan Research Ethics Board has approved this study: Beh # 05-230.)

Women can do the survey online by typing in, or copying and pasting, the

following web address:

https://survey.usask.ca/survey.php?sid=14109

We would greatly appreciate if you could pass on the above link to this survey

to potential participants, and possibly post a link to the survey on your

website?

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me back or contact the

lead researcher, Dr. Gyurcsik, by telephone (1-306-966-1075) or email

(nancy.gyurcsik@...). Dr. Gyurcsik is in the College of Kinesiology at the

University of Saskatchewan.

Thank you very much,

Glazebrook, M.Sc.
