Hi everyone. I have been asked to help circulate a survey on Information Seeking Habits of Lyme Disease Patients which was done by a student at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was asked by his professor if I could help. I took the survey myself and found it generally easy except for a couple of questions I had to reread a couple of times and I still think there might be a mixup in the wording. However, you can do a portion of the survey, all of the survey, or none at all. No pressure. Of course, he is looking for as many responses as he can get. The following is what I received - Have you found that finding information regarding your health condition has been a challenge? To better understand this topic we invite you to participate in this survey on “Information Seeking Habits of Lyme Disease patients”. My name is Marc Harper. I am a Masters of Library and Information Studies Candidate in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am conducting a mini-research project under the instruction of Professor Sandra Toze, in partial fulfillment of INFO 6682 (Information Seeking Behavior). I would appreciate your participation in my research project. I am asking you to complete a survey which includes three parts: A brief demographic section General questions about health information seeking A final section that asks about information seeking for Lyme disease. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete, and it will remain open until March 24, 2014 at midnight. Your participation in this study is voluntary, and you can withdraw at any time. Personal information such as your name will not be collected. All information received will be treated in confidence and with anonymity. No individual responses will be attributed but merely combined into an overall report for INFO 6682 and presented to the class. To participate in the study please follow the link below.
