Survey #1 [James Cook University]: Do you have Chronic Hepatitis B or C?
Your chance to win $100 cash
Australian residents are invited to take part in a research study exploring the influence of factors such as received information and care, illness perceptions, and stigma, on the health-related quality of life of people with chronic hepatitis B (CHBV) or chronic hepatitis C (CHCV). Prerequisites for participation are that you are at least 18 years of age, and have been diagnosed with either CHBV or CHCV, but are not co-infected with both and/or with HIV.
As a reward for completing the questionnaire, you will have the chance to win a cash prize of AU$100 (instructions provided with the questionnaire). The draw is expected to take place in September 2010 and the winner will be notified shortly after.
A summary of the survey findings will be circulated via the Hepatitis Council of Qld.
