Hi Susan, This study is part of a follow-up study. The first study looked specifically at coping with IBD. In this partial follow-up study we have a version of the questionnaire that is just for those with IBD, and now also a version for other chronic health conditions in general. The IBD version will in some cases (if indivudal permission is granted) be linked up to the responses from the first study which was just for those with IBD. There are some issues such as why people may use different support groups and how they help them that may have similar themes so we are going to look at these issues across a variety of health issues, not just IBD. That is why this notice is posted on the crohn’s/colitis group. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Would you like to participate in a study about the use of social support (support groups, friends/family, health services) for people with a chronic health condition? We are a doctoral student (Fuschia Sirois) and a Psychology professor (Dr. Mary Gick) interested in exploring the psychological factors associated with the use of social support and services for those who live with a chronic health condition. Both of us live with a chronic illness. We are looking for other people who have a chronic health condition (Chronic Migraines, Diabetes, MS, Asthma, COPD, Heart disease, Liver Disease, CFS, Chronic pain, TMJ, Meniere’s, IBS, Cancer, etc.) to take part in our study so that we may better understand how social support influences well-being. The online version of the study is now available at: http://www.carleton.ca/~fsirois/chronic/chronindex.htm If you have any chronic health condition (Chronic Migraines, Diabetes, MS, Asthma, COPD, Heart disease, Liver Disease, CFS, Chronic pain, TMJ, Meniere’s, IBS, Cancer, etc.) and are interested in participating simply follow the above link and read over the introduction page, then link to the survey. We estimate that the survey takes about 30-45 minutes to complete and all information will remain anonymous and confidential. If you have a chronic health condition and live in Canada or the US and wish to participate but feel uncomfortable with completing the online survey we can send you the survey package that includes instructions and a postage paid envelope for its return. Simply email your mailing address to Fuschia M. Sirois, M.A., Ph.D. candidate, Department of Psychology, Carleton University, Ottawa at  We will also produce a brief online report of our findings for anyone interested in the Spring and post a notice here again when it is ready. Thanks so much for reading this and for your interest and support – this research doesn’t happen without you!
