Hello Megan!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Sarah King and I am a genetic counseling student at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in the United States. As part of my Master’s thesis, I am conducting a research study looking at decisions and choices of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers that are 18 to 24 years old.
I am interested in potentially gathering information about the decisions and choices of women or men of this young age from members of your online community (or from you as well!). I am writing to ask if you would consider posting a link to my survey, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8HQNVDD, on your blog. I have included a copy of sample post, which includes information about my research and a link to the survey that you would be able to post.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to ask your community to participate in this survey.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me or my thesis advisor. Thanks for you time!
Sincerely,
Sarah
