     Hello!

      You were recently invited to participate
      in a project designed to increase understanding of chronic illnesses.  We are writing to request your
      participation again in the following study:

      Predictors of Disability and
      Acceptance in Persons with Chronic Health Conditions in Internet-Based Chronic
      Illness Support Groups (COMIRB No: 11-1278).
      This study is being led Abbie Beacham, Ph.D., at the University of Colorado
      Denver.

      The study involves answering a series of online
      questionnaires designed to increase understanding of chronic illnesses.  We are
      inviting participants (age 18 and older) who have been and are currently
      experiencing a chronic illness for at least 3 months to complete an online
      survey. It is anticipated that this survey will take approximately 30-45
      minutes of your time to complete.

      In addition, we request that you
      forward/share the survey link to other individuals with chronic illnesses who
      may wish to participate in this studyso that they may have the
      opportunity to assist us in gathering information about chronic illnesses and
      online support groups.
      Please click on the following link if you are interested in
      learning more about the research study:

I wonder how much me being an equestrian messes up their results? lol  'How often has your illness interfered in activities you would like to do?'  Um, all the time because I would LIKE to go galloping across the fields like I did as a kid!
