UCL researchers looking for questionnaire volunteers

[OvacomeSupport]

Dear All

We have been approached by researchers at UCL to help with recruitment for research they are undertaking into non-medical interventions that women use when they have cancer. They are asking for women aged over 18 to complete a questionnaire. Their message is as follows:

"CALLING ALL WOMEN THAT CURRENTLY HAVE OR HAVE BEEN THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT!

We at the Institute for Women's Health in UCL (University College of London), are conducting a study into non-medical interventions and which ones are effective and proven to improve quality of life and efficacy supporting medical treatment.

This questionnaire is a vital step in the data gathering stage of the study, pulling together a wealth of real-world experiences - which is where you come in!

This aim of this study is to create a one-stop, trusted place for you to be able to look up and qualify for yourself, all the non-medical stuff you get advised to try.

We would hugely appreciate you filling out this survey (which takes about 15-20 minutes) and then share with your friends and family. And together, we can make a difference.

The link has email contact for the researchers if you have any questions regarding the research.

It takes a bit of time and could certainly have been better designed, but it's a useful exercise, I think, with scope for what we know helps us eventually to become more mainstream.

I forgot to mention Epsom salts in the things which have helped section, so if someone else can pick up the baton, please.

Fairly sure I mentioned it, Mac, but I did it a couple of weeks ago, so my memory doesn’t go back that far!

Have tried to o this survey, but was unable to progress past a certain page, so have unfortunately given up.

Hello Jenny

The UCL researchers have asked what page you reached before you couldn't go any further? Then they can check their questionnaire and system to find out what the issue was - it may be others are having the same problem. If you don't mind letting me know, I'll pass on the information to them.

Best wishes

I think a real design problem is the lack of a Back button, if memory serves.

[OvacomeSupport Partner My Ovacome Team in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Mac, I will feed this back.

Sorry, I can't remember which page I was on. I had entered what other alternative treatments I had used, then was unable to move on from there or near there.
