Research Study Looking for Participants to Complete Survey
A Masters Student in the Behavioural Health Sciences Research Lab in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University is conducting a research study entitled “A Life without Wheat: Dietary Adherence, Physical Activity and Motives”, to look at individuals living on a gluten-free diet, their dietary adherence, physical activity levels and the reasons why they engage in these lifestyle behaviours.
This study involves responding to a series of online questionnaires on a secured site that will take approximately 15 minutes of your time.
To participate in this study you must be: (a) self-identified as living on a gluten-free diet, (b) have consented to participate, (c) between the ages of 18-64, (d) must be able to understand and speak English, (e) willing to complete a series of questionnaires and, (f) must have access to both a computer and Internet.
February 20 is the deadline to complete the survey.
