*****************************************************

I am a health educator at Stanford University researching on-line

health

programs. I thought some of your group members maybe interested in our

research. There is no charge to participate and we are giving out $10

amazon gift certificates for participating. We develop and evaluate

self-management programs for people living with chronic health

conditions

such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. We have recently

started

to take our self-management programs on-line and have been offering

workshops as part of research studies via the Internet. We have

several programs that we plan to launch in 2004, and we are currently

recruiting for a Questionnaire study to determine the reliability of

health information collected on-line. It is important that the results

obtained in our surveys are generalizable across populations. For this

reason, we would like to make sure that we are recruiting from a

diverse

population.

I was wondering if you could post a message on the boards about the

study. I have included recruitment information for the

Questionnaire study below, and would be happy to send additional

recruitment information on future studies. the web address for the

study

is

I look forward to hearing from you!
