Online IBS survey

[Sabrina]

Would you like to help researchers better understand IBS and its effect on your quality of life? If so, please read below for information on how you can help by participating in my master’s thesis study being conducted at the University of Windsor.

My name is Sabrina Voci and I am a graduate student at the University of Windsor. My master’s thesis project is exploring factors that may be related to quality of life and well-being among women with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS is very common among women and because there are few effective treatment options, symptoms can negatively impact quality of life. It is my hope that my study will help gain a better understanding of factors that are associated with improved quality of life and well-being among women with IBS.

Participation in this study involves completing an online survey, found at www.uwindsor.ca/healthsurvey . Log in using the group username health and the password june2007.

As a token of appreciation for you help you will be invited to enter a draw for 1 of 5 gift certificates (25 CAD, 23 USD, 18 EUR, 12 GBP) for Amazon or Chapters Indigo bookstores.

For more information, please contact Sabrina Voci at [e-mail]. This research has been approved by the University of Windsor Research Ethics Board.

** Please pass on the survey website address to any women you know who are eligible for participation in this study **

Thank you for your help!
