Epilepsy study-Columbia University in the City of New York, Department of Psychology

Hi,

We invite you to participate in an Epilepsy study conducted by Columbia University in the City of New York, Department of Psychology. The study is for patients 18-65 years of age who have been diagnosed with Epilepsy  The purpose of this study is to better understand issues facing patients with epilepsy and to hopefully identify ways to help improve their lives.  This study is being supported by the Epilepsy Foundation of America. The study is for patients who have been diagnosed with Epilepsy.  Participants will be asked to personally complete a questionnaire that asks about epilepsy, medication, and how it fits (or doesn't fit) into their life.  It asks people with epilepsy about their experiences with this condition.  All information remains confidential and is never shared by third parties (including MedHelp.org), and remains anonymous.

Here's some additional information:  

 It's voluntary. You can withdraw at any time or refuse to answer any question you don't want to answer.

 It's confidential. You will be given study ID # to use / your name never appears on your survey. All responses remain anonymous. Only the Columbia Epilepsy Study Research Staff handles this information and it is not shared with any third parties

 Compensation: all participants who are qualified by the Epilepsy Study team and complete the questionnaire will receive via e-mail a gift card and are entered in a lottery to win an additional reward.

If you or anyone you know would like to participate, or have any questions about the study, please contact me via PM addressed to MH Community Mgr .  MedHelp will share your interest in participating with the Columbia Epilepsy Study, who will set up a time to complete the screening and confirmation process.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.  

Best,

Cheryl

Hi,

Thanks for your interest!

I'm going to send you a PM.  PM is short for Private Message .. In a few minutes it will arrive in your private "inbox".  To access the message from this page go to the upper right hand corner of your screen and you will see the word "Inbox" .. All you need to do is click on the "inbox" and it will direct you to your message(s).

Another way to retrieve a PM is via an e-mail notification that you may receive in your personal e-mail account .. just click the link and it'll take you directly to your inbox.

Best,
