Fwd: Invitation to Evaluate the South Asian Heart Health web pages
Dear Potential Participant,
My name is Shaila Rao and I am a Doctoral student in the Department of
Health and Behavior Studies at Teachers College, Columbia University
in New York, New York. I am doing this survey for my dissertation
work. The study is to evaluate a Heart Health website developed for
the South Asian community. To participate in the study, you must be
(1) a South Asian woman , which means you can trace your heritage to
South Asia (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka)
and (2) be 25 years of age or older, and (3) living in the United
States.
You are being asked to view the Heart Health web pages on the South
Asian Health Project website
(http://www.southasianhealth.org/yourhealth/HH/hearthealthmainpage.aspx).
These pages have information related to eating and preparing healthier
South Asian foods, exercise, raising heart healthy kids, and much
more. After viewing the pages, you will be asked to fill out a survey
to tell us how feel about the website as well as your knowledge,
perceptions, and behaviors related to preventing heart disease. You
will be able to access the survey on the website. This survey will
take approximately 25-30 minutes to complete. Your assistance will be
extremely helpful in improving this site and making it more effective
in reducing the risk of heart disease within the South Asian community.
After 200 people complete the survey, the computer program will
automatically send out $100.00 Amazon gift certificates to three
randomly chosen e-mail accounts without in any way linking your
identity to the survey results.
Click the following link
http://www.southasianhealth.org/yourhealth/HH/hearthealthmainpage.aspx
to browse the Heart Health pages (the starred * pages), view the
informed consent, learn about your rights as a participant, and to
proceed to the survey.
February is American Heart Month and an important opportunity for
South Asian women to discover how to reduce the risk of heart disease
for themselves, their families, and their community. If you know
other South Asian women (friends, sisters, aunties, moms, co-workers),
please forward this email to them so that they may also learn from the
South Asian Heart Health pages and participate in this survey.
Thanks for your participation!
