Gang, I'm talking to a young researcher who needs some volunteers to take a short (25 minutes or so) survey on physical activity with MS. If you can spare a moment, I am sure Catherine would appreciate it. -D
-------------------
You are invited to participate in a research study entitled “Correlates of physical activity in a sample of adults with Multiple Sclerosis.” conducted by Catherine Pollard, graduate student, and Dr. Kristina Karvinen, Associate Professor, from the School of Physical and Health Education at Nipissing University. The results of this study will contribute to graduate student research. If you have any questions or concerns about the research, please feel free to contact Catherine Pollard by email at ctpollard736@community.nipissingu.ca or Dr. Kristina Karvinen at telephone number 1-705-474-3450 ext. 4670 or by email at kristinak@nipissingu.ca.
The purpose and objectives of this study are to explore relationships between social cognitive factors and physical activity participation in adults with Multiple Sclerosis.
If you volunteer to participate in this study, we will ask you to complete one online survey. The survey will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete. If you are interested, you may request the researcher to provide you with the findings of the study by contacting Dr. Kristina Karvinen at kristinak@nipissingu.ca. The data will be published in research articles and presented at research conferences. There is slight risk that participation in the study may cause emotional distress since you will be asked to think about your physical activity behaviours and your diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis. If you are worried or upset and need to speak to someone you may call the MS Society of Canada’s hotline at 1-800-268-7582 or the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America hotline at 800 532-7667 for assistance. There are no potential benefits to you for participating in the study other than knowing that you have contributed to health research which in the future may be helpful to others with Multiple Sclerosis. The information gained from this study may be used in designing future physical activity programs and educational opportunities for adults with Multiple Sclerosis.
