Are you a woman who has been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
(IBS)?

OR

Are you a woman who experiences recurring gastrointestinal symptoms
(abdominal pain or discomfort with increased or decreased frequency of
bowel movements) and you have not seen a doctor for these symptoms?

If so, I would like to invite you to participate in my study...

My name is Sabrina Voci and I am a graduate student in the Applied
Social Psychology program at the University of Windsor. I am
conducting a study for my master's thesis that is exploring factors
that may be related to quality of life and well-being among women with
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). My research is being supervised by Dr.
Ken Cramer and has been approved by the University of Windsor Research
Ethics Board.

I am seeking participation from employed women (part-time or full-
time) who either have IBS or have experienced recurring
gastrointestinal symptoms which began at least 6 months ago and have
recurred for at least the past 3 months, which are not caused by a
medical condition or the side effects of medication. Gastrointestinal
symptoms include abdominal pain or discomfort with increased or
decreased frequency of bowel movements.

If you meet these criteria and are willing to participate in my study
or would like more information, visit ***www.uwindsor.ca/
healthsurvey*** and log in using the group username health and the
password june2007. Your help with this study would be very much
appreciated and as a token of this appreciation, if you decide to
complete the survey, you will be invited to enter a draw for 1 of 5
gift certificates (25 CAD, 23 USD, 18 EUR, 12 GBP) for Amazon or
Chapters Indigo bookstores. All information will remain anonymous and
confidential.

For more information, please contact Sabrina Voci at
health(a)uwindsor.ca or Dr. Ken Cramer at kcramer(a)uwindsor.ca.

** Feel free to pass along the survey website address to any other
women you know who may be interested in participating! **

Thank you for your help!
