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!
