***We no longer require volunteers for these virtual interviews. Thank you so much to everyone who has emailed me to volunteer, we've been blown away by the response. Keep an eye on the forum for more opportunities in the future.***
Researchers at Duke University in the United States are looking for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the UK to provide their opinions about a forthcoming survey looking into lupus and quality of life. The survey is in development your feedback can help make it better.
Researchers are identifying people for interviews to provide feedback on the survey. If you are selected, you will be asked to take part in an interview that will last 1 to 1.5 hours. The interviews will be with a trained interviewer from Duke University. You will be compensated for your time for the interview.
What are the interview topics?
If you are selected for an interview, you will only be asked for your thoughts on the survey. We will not ask you to tell us about your personal experiences of living with lupus. We want to learn how well people understand the survey questions and how we can make the survey better. The interviewer will also ask questions about you—such as your age, ethnicity, and education.

•Be interested in taking part of the interview, if selected
•Be at least 18 years old
