For the individuals to> participate in the survey I do not need any identifying information,> it is completely anonymous. If there is any way that you could pass> the link for my survey on to any of the sibling in your support group> I would appreciate it very much. The more participants I can get from> across the country the stronger my study will be and therefore the> more helpful it will be.>> http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=I0xV05HGqnL_2f17kPG_2feqmw_3d_3d>> Again thank you so much for any help that you can give me.>> -- > Noack>> Genetic Counseling Intern> University of South Carolina> noacka2@...
