Savvy looking for participants for survey

[Bassetmommer]

Savvy has a gig for people who have CKD. They do pay for participants. I just did a gig for them and enjoyed the experience.

We’re looking for people who have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). (Gig reference: #C7D8)"

what do u get - what are the rules

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador in reply to jeffmensch]

Check out the info on their site with the link. It depends on the gig.

[jeffmensch in reply to Bassetmommer]

that does not answer my question

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador in reply to jeffmensch]

I know,,,, you get gift cards like VISA or Amazon if you are selected for a gig. The payments vary according to the gig. They have all sorts of different patient gigs, for different comorbidities. YOU can get much more info off the site.

no interest - do not believe real

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador in reply to jeffmensch]

ok that's fine but not sure what you mean by real. It is not a scam. I have participated already in one patient group project that was for Medicare and on urgent Care patients use.

For me, it is not about the money, but chance to make some changes.

Why are they looking for people with CKD and what type of 'gig' did you do with them please?

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador in reply to Jane_the_Pain]

They are a company that JUST screens people for patient input groups. They have all different types of disease groups they work with. I just did a gig, as they call them, For Medicare on the quality of going to an Urgent Care. There were seven patients they interviewed for honest answers as to how they were treated at their local urgent care. Now I am doing this new one for CKD. They are above board, and it is a great way to get involved as a patient to give honest and real-life input....and get a stipend.

I've received several emails from the NKF with survey links attached. And yes, one in particular was asking about being able to get the care I need. What bothered me about it was all the personal questions they asked that I felt had nothing to do with kidney function.

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador in reply to Hidden]

Surveys often ask questions that seem irrelevant in order to set a demographic of respondents. Don't answer if they make you feel uncomfortable.
