Research Request

[Zazzel]

I'm not really sure if this is allowed, so please delete this post if it is not.

Just spoke with someone who is gathering CKD patients in stage 1, 2 and 3a to interview for a client who is researching for ways of improving those early stage CKD. That's good news! In any case, I'm participating. They asked if I knew anyone else who would be interested. It's a 1- 2 hour phone interview if you qualify and they do a little compensation for your time. If you are interested, private message me and I will give you the number, company, website and contact to call. Nice to see some research being done to help slow things down.

I got a chat message 2 hours ago for this also from SailboatGal, stating same request. I wonder if it is a scam? Have not contacted the person.

I was concerned with that as well, but I got the company name and the woman I spoke with checked out. Looks like they are putting feelers out for people to interview on various CKD platforms. The gals Linked In pages checks out. Looks legit.

Thanks for your research. One has to be careful. Have not decided if want to do it.

I agree. Lots of scammers out there these days.

Hi Zazzel,

This is a tricky area and not the first time research requests appear on Health Unlocked forums. In order to protect our users' anonymity, confidentiality and vulnerabilities from scammers we ask that the person making this request contact directly our Head Office on:[e-mail] who will make this decision. All users of HU forums must comply with and respect our Terms of Use: healthunlocked.com/policies... and Community Guidelines: support.healthunlocked.com/... which you can also find at the bottom of your forum's homepage. I would counsel you all to exercise caution before accepting such requests. If you have any future concerns you can also contact the HU Admin team on the email address above, or via your 'more' tab under your post where you can report your concerns. Hope this helps.

My request was sent as a private message on this site. I deleted it.

[orangecity41 in reply to lowraind]

I did also. I agree too it should go thru health unlocked support group.

[orangecity41 in reply to MAS_Nurse]

Thanks for guidance on this issue.

[Zazzel in reply to MAS_Nurse]

Thank you for the clarification on this subject. Should we delete my post?

Thanks MAS_Nurse.

I agree with your thinking.

Soliciting for studies on any health support site should be cleared through their Administrators, as they are here to monitor and protect the safety and best interest of the community.
