Hi Mandy

i have just contacted BLF about it thank you. im finding it difficult to find communities such as this that are willing to allow me to post it. and i cannot thank people who have and are willing to take part in my questionnaire enough as it means so much to me as i found out on Christmas eve my uncle whom im very close to has COPD which is why i decided to do my research dissertation on it as i didn't know anything about the condition and it all the information ect is very helpful. i hope i can get many more participant in my questionnaire. (sorry if ive board you) :-)

hahahaha

No you haven't bored me....we would love to help you out you just need to inform the blf moderators that you want to post then they can let members know and you also then have the confidence knowing you can do it.

So sorry to hear about your uncle we know its not easy you should tell him to pop along here for some support x x

I've just had a look at questionnaire. Am concerned you are looking at too narrow a field. IE you assume that all those with COPD have or been smokers.

I am not a smoker and would be unable to answer most of your questions.

LouseCoote in reply to Bevvy

that doesn't matter if your not a smoker as im trying to build up a picture of how much of COPD is actually cause by smoking and is there the possibility that yes smoking does contribute to such conditions but is it necessary the main cause of COPD (if that makes sense) my aim is to gain a varied response to the questionnaire of people who do/have smoked with the condition and those who don't/haven't smoked.

I have completed it but there was no question about whether you are an ex-smoker and how long ago did you give up. Therefore I couldn't answer any smoking related questions as I fall into that category.

that's fine the smoking related questions are optional :-)

thank you :-)

Questionnaire done.

Regarding smoking. My PR chap doesn't think that most people with COPD get it from smoking. I have met a few people with COPD who have never smoked. Many years ago there was no strict Health and Safety like there is now. I think this reflects in the average age group who are diagnosed with COPD.

Have completed your form but as extra info I was in my local the other night and out of the 16 people there I was the only ex smoker with COPD and the other 15 puffing away without COPD which I think shows not all smokers will develop COPD. Good luck with your dissertation 👍

one q asked do you smoke. I put no because I don't. Now. Perhaps it should say have you ever smoked, and another do you smoke now.

filled in though,

Completed. All the best for your dissertation and your studies. It would be lovely to hear what you find out with your questionnaire once you've analysed it.

Have done survey - an extra question asking if we did smoke and how long since we gave up and how that relates to when we were diagnosed may also be helpful? Good luck with the dissertation x
