A new on-line patient survey opportunity!

[icnmgrjill]

I just received a request from UCLA asking if we would promote this new web based study! I think it sounds very interesting and will help us understand, better, the potential impact of complementary & alternative medicines. They are specifically looking for IC patients to participate. I hope you'll consider it!

Here's a bit more info.. but to participate just go to their website:
http://www.procaim.org!

PROCAIM (People-Reported Outcomes from Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medicine) was developed under a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine to study (1) the effectiveness of the full range of mind/body medical interventions and other complementary and alternative therapies, and (2) the interactions among stress, pain, and responses to the various available treatments. This is a web based study composed of surveys that will occur over a period of time!

Investigators: UCLA Schools of Public Health and Medicine.*
Date Added - March 2007
Status - Open
Eligible Participants - Patients with IC, fibromyalgia, IBS and other chronic recurring conditions.
To participate, please visit: http://www.procaim.org

I just took the survey and it only took about a half an hour. Most of the surveys that are there now are only one page some a few more so don't become overwhelmed when you see the 15 surveys.

I finished the survey, too. Hoping they will learn something that will help all of us.

I didn't get to finish mine. Did half yesterday and went back today to finish the other half and nothing to click on for start. Not unless they are having web site problems.

I am having the same problems waterflow. I finished half of mine last night, I just went back to log back in and do the rest, but cannot find a users log in...just to sign up????

:loco: I just found the link...you click on the link to the left. Even if you click on the wrong one, when you log in it will give you the right survey to go into.

I did it just now in about 20 minutes. I hope it helps somehow.
