Hi!
My name is Merel Baars, and I am currently
doing a Master's degree in Health
Psychology at the University of Nottingham
in the UK. I am working on my final
research project which is being undertaken
by/within the Institute of Work, Health
& Organisations, which is a
postgraduate institute of applied
psychology at the University of
Nottingham.
The overall purpose of the project is to
increase our knowledge about online
support groups and how they help people
living with HIV. The information gained
from this study may help us to develop
further the information and services
provided for people living with HIV.
You are invited to participate in this
research!
Our online questionnaire asks questions
about peoples’ use of HIV-related online
support groups, coping strategies,
perceptions of social support and health.
It will take approximately 10-15 minutes
to complete. The study is targeted at
people actively using the forum (reading
and posting) but also people who just read
messages.
This study has been subject to ethical
review by the Institute of Work, Health
and Organisations Ethics Committee to
ensure that the study is conducted in an
ethically appropriate manner.
Participation may be discontinued at any
time without giving a reason. Identifiable
personal details will be omitted to ensure
anonymity of responses. The responses will
be kept secure and private. Only the
researchers will have access to the data;
any printouts or disks containing the data
will be stored in a locked file. All
information collected during the course of
the study will be kept strictly
confidential. Any personal comments from
the returned questionnaires that are used
in project reports or academic papers will
be quoted anonymously and anything that
might identify you will be removed.
If you require more information about the
study, please do not hesitate contacting
me. If you would like to participate in
