Attitudes and experiences of acupuncture for PCOS
Tuesday, 10th May 2011
Exploring women's attitudes and experiences of acupuncture for treating PCOS I am a mature student studying Acupuncture and I have PCOS. I am particularly interested in learning more about other women’s experiences if they have had acupuncture and also if you haven’t then to look at the reasons why. I would like to gather as much information as possible and in order to do this I am asking other women who have PCOS to complete an online questionnaire (you don’t need to have had acupuncture in order to take part in the study). As well as this, I will be inviting people to also have a short interview with me over the telephone so that we can talk more about PCOS and acupuncture. When the study is complete I will share the results with you and it will form a large part of my University assessment. I will protect your identity and confidentiality at all times throughout the study. The survey will only take 10 minutes of your time at most to complete so follow this link if you would like to help: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/acupuncturepcos and for any direct emails it's also: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/acupuncturepcos Please note, this study finishes on March 8th 2011 so if you would like to take part, you've only got this week to do it.
