Hello. My name is Carol and I am a Nurse Practitioner student. I am conducting research to develop a patient handout of guidelines of what characteristics to look for in a good on-line support group for an illness or condition. I feel this would be a valuable tool in which primary care providers can provide to patients to improve the quality of life of their patients. My intentions are good and I am asking for your help. I am in need of information. If you would like to help, please fill out this brief questionnaire. No names, email addresses or IP addresses will be used. This questionnaire is voluntary. By completing the questionnaire you are giving informed consent. Any questions can be posed by contacting me at my email address carol_snyder@comcast.net.
Thank you for your help in my endeavor… Carol Snyder RN, BSN, FNP STUDENT.
