paid research

[Guest guest]

Hey this is Ray Holland. I quit posting a while back because I was so

sick and in a bad mood, I found myself bringing others down so I

decided to just read post's for a while. I ran across this research

project from HepCunited and thought I should share it. It's from

London looking for people in the States that are in Intereron type

meds. I did not qualify because not on meds but if you tell them Ray

Holland refered you they will pay me 40 bucks each and if you qualify

you get 200 bucks. Everyone knows me by Butch but real name is Ray

for those confused.

You just need to e-mail below and if you mention me that would

be great and if not it looks like a good deal for those on treatment.

They are looking for a lot of people soon. I added original e-mail

below that explains program.

Thanks and if you have any questions e-mail at

Dear Ray,

You have received this letter because Sandi informed me that you would

be interested in taking part in a piece of research that we are

conducting in the area of Hepatitis C. Before deciding whether you

would

like to participate, you may have some questions about the type of

research we want to conduct and how you might be able to help. This

letter is designed to help answer some of those questions. We'll also

give you names and contact details of team members for you to get in

touch with, should you have any further queries.

Firstly, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dino Lista

and

I work for a market research agency called World One Research, based

in

London. We conduct research for pharmaceutical companies on a range of

different topics. Pharmaceutical companies are always trying to

improve

their treatments and make them easier to take. Therefore in any type

of

research, the opinions of the people who actually take the medications

are very important.

In this case, we are very interested to talk to people like you, who

are

living with Hepatitis C. What we would like to explore with you is

your

experiences with you condition and the challenges that you currently

face. We'd also like to gain some feedback on what you think could be

done to make taking your medication easier.

We would like to run the research in two parts. The first part will

concentrate on his day-to-day experiences. We will supply you with a

diary, which we would like you to complete each day for a week. The

diary will only take about 10 minutes per day to complete. The second

part requires your participation in a group telephone discussion about

Hepatitis C. We would like to hold these discussions in groups of

three

(plus a researcher), where you will be able to interact with other

people who may have had similar experiences to yours, and you will be

given the opportunity to point out how your experiences may differ.

These discussions will last approximately 90 minutes and because they

will be over the phone (on a toll free number), you will not be

required

to travel anywhere / leave your home. These discussions will be held

by

an experienced researcher, with an interest in finding out what is

important to you. If, during the discussion, you feel uncomfortable

with

anything at all, you are encouraged to make this known to the

researcher. You will not be forced to say or share anything that you

are

not 100% happy with.

The very nature of market research is that there are no right or wrong

answers, as everybody's experiences are unique. What we would like

from

you is your honest opinions and thoughts. We will of course reward you

for your time with a payment of $200,- payable upon completion of the

research. We aim to conduct this research at the beginning of

December.

Market research also requires us to protect the identities of anybody

involved. For this reason, we will not pass your details onto anybody,

and you will not be contacted as a result of anything that you may

have

said during the discussion. All responses will be kept 100%

confidential.

I hope that I have answered some of your questions and if there is

anything at all that you would like to discuss further then please do

not hesitate to drop me an email: dino@... , or call me

+44

(0) (ext 1140).

A colleague of mine will be contacting you soon.

Thank you very much,

Best wishes,

dino@...
