The NVA is still seeking participants

[Guest guest]

The NVA is still seeking women with vulvodynia who live in the United

States to participate in a cost of illness survey, which asks

questions about lost work hours and out-of-pocket expenses related to

having vulvodynia.

From a cost of illness survey, analysts can calculate to what extent

a particular health condition impacts our economy. It is important

for NVA to have this information to convince members of Congress and

NIH staff of the great need to increase funding of vulvodynia

research.

Participation requires only 3 hours of your time over the next 6

months.

With the use of a NVA-supplied calendar, you will keep track of your

vulvodynia-related expenses, such as prescription medications, doctor

visits and over-the-counter remedies. Participants will anonymously

log onto NVA's web site once every four weeks (for six months) to

record expenses. Each time you log on, the survey will take 5-10

minutes to complete.
