I am a PhD student conducting research on how people cope with chronic illnesses in their pets, and I am asking you to participate in my study if you have been managing your pet’s illness for at least 3 months, you are over the age of 18, and you live in the U.S.
What would you have to do?
You would need to read a consent form and complete a set of surveys either online or on paper. The surveys should take less than 80 minutes to complete and can be done at any time. All of your survey responses will be anonymous.
Why would you participate?
By completing the surveys in the study, you will be contributing to research aimed at helping others understand what it is like to care for a pet with a chronic illness, and you can enter 10 drawings to win a $100 giftcard for a pet supply store of your choice. The odds of winning are approximately 1 in 100.
What Should You Do if You Want to Participate?
If you are interested in participating, please read the consent form and complete the surveys online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/petillnessstudy, or contact me at mkelly27@uic.edu or 312-661-6641 to have the packet sent to you by U.S. mail with a prepaid return envelope.
What Should You Do if You Have Questions or Want More Information?
If you have any questions, please contact me (Melissa Kelly) at mkelly27@uic.edu or 312-661-6641.
Thank you for your time.
