Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain survey
We are undertaking a programme of research which seeks to improve the
recruitment and retention of participants to clinical trials investigating pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP).
We are currently looking for clinicians and researchers who have either clinical
experience treating pregnant or postpartum women with PPGP, or research
experience involving pregnancy populations (does not have to relate to PPGP
specifically) to take part in our short online survey.
This survey seeks to understand what would help clinicians and researchers support and deliver clinical trials investigating PPGP.
The survey is an anonymous, and should take approximately 10-15 minutes to
complete.
For every completed survey, £5* will be donated to The Pelvic Partnership, a
UK-based PPGP charity which has supported this research.
*You will not receive a personal payment. Maximum total donation £300.
