request for help

Do you live in Britain? Do you use the Internet to look for health information?



This is not an advert and we are not trying to sell you anything. We are trying to contact users of the internet for acadamic research purposes only. We have posted to this group, rather than a health specific one, as we are hoping to recruit general internet users to the survey.



If you do live in Britain, we would like to ask for some help in a survey we are carrying out looking at people's use of health information on the internet. We work in the Centre for Health and Social Care, School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol.



This survey aims to explore the ways in which people use information about health that they find on the internet. It is a small scale survey and we hope to use what we learn from it to develop a bigger research project which could help health professionals understand how people make use of the internet to find out about their health.



If you would be willing to fill out a short questionnaire please go to

and fill out the questionnaire. It is entirely confidential.



Many thanks.


Do you actually mean Great Britain, or more correctly the - United Kingdom -- or perhaps just England?

Apart from your intrusion on this news group, your definition of your location is imperfect. It smacks of spam which I am fairly sure is not intended.

It is unwelcome nevertheless

Well said and you might add the 4 other posters who have lost there way who are not welcome.
