Greetings
I am a undergraduate student studying Product Design and Technology at Loughborough University. I am currently doing research for my final year project of a guitar aid for sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis.
Please read through the participant information and informed consent question before continuing.If you select No to the participant agreement question (below) please do not participate in the survey.
This investigation is carried out by myself (l.j.ingham-13@student.lboro.ac.), and supervised by Abby Paterson (a.m.paterson@lboro.ac.uk) and Steve Summerskill (s.j.summerskill2@lboro.ac.uk)
This survey is to help me identify the problems and possible solutions associated with rheumatoid arthritis in guitar players.
The following survey should take no longer than 30 minutes,and you will be asked to contribute as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing. You have the right to withdraw at anytime and have any data removed from the study. However, once the results of the study have been submitted (25th May 2016), it will not be possible to withdraw your individual data from the research.
The results of this survey will be kept anonymous, and will be stored upon smartsurvey's website as well as in my project logbook. The data I collect will be kept until the end of this academic year, smartsurvey will keep it according to their data protection policy.
If you have any questions regarding the project contact me. If you have any queries over my conduct, or wish to contact someone else about the project, Abby Paterson is my project tutor and Steve Summerskill is the project leader.
