Participants Sought For Fibromyalgia Study By UW-Madison
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin – Madison are conducting a study about the ways in which women with fibromyalgia view themselves, their social environments, and their relationships with others (i.e. medical providers and family). They want to understand how these factors impact their psychological well-being and satisfaction with various aspects of life.
WHO: You are eligible to participate if you are a woman between the ages of 18 and 65 who has had fibromyalgia for one year or more.
WHAT: Participation will involve 2 rounds of surveys. Survey 1 involves completing an online survey consisting of several questionnaires that will take approximately one hour to complete. Survey 2 will take place 4 weeks following the date you participate in Survey 1 and will involve taking one brief questionnaire lasting approximately 1-3 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: The 200 participant quota has now been met so the $15 gift card for taking the survey is no longer available. You may still take the survey if you’d like to contribute to the research study but you will not receive the compensation. Thank you.
COMPENSATION: The first 200 participants to complete the first survey round will receive a $15 Target Gift Card. The first 30 participants to complete the second survey round will receive an additional $10 gift card.
