Online survey of perceptions of infant and child growth - YOUR VIEWS MATTER! https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/lshtm/shortened-v6-1-perceptions-and-understandings-of-post-malnutrit
MESSAGE:

Dear friends and colleagues,

Hope you’re having a good first few weeks of 2024.

I’d be very grateful if you’d fill a short 10-15min survey for one of our research projects aiming to improve the evidence-base for future management of severe/moderate malnutrition. We are trying to understand current perceptions of post-malnutrition weight gain and growth. Participation will involve:

Phase 1 – online questionnaire https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/lshtm/shortened-v6-1-perceptions-and-understandings-of-post-malnutrit
An online questionnaire which can be completed at your convenience (approximately 10-15 minutes to finish) At the beginning of the questionnaire, you will be asked some brief information about your professional background. You will then be asked to provide short or multiple-choice answers regarding your perceptions on optimal growth rates post-malnutrition and aims of malnutrition programmes. This will involve looking at some child growth charts and answering a few related questions. (NB disable any browser blockers/do survey on a smartphone – else sometimes the pictures don’t show up on the survey)
Please remember there are no right/wrong answers - it's not a test! Hence no need to overthink/spend too long! We merely want to understand how you and others currently see these issues, so a gut reaction is more than OK. There’s also no need to justify answers in detail, though a few words of rationale would be helpful).

Phase 2 – interview (only if you want to do this – otherwise the short online questionnaire is more than enough!). Sign-up for this is at the end of the survey.

PLEASE HELP US! WE REALLY VALUE YOUR INSIGHTS AND EXPERTISE! The survey will be open until Sat 27th Jan. (EXTENDED to 4th March!!)
We are looking for participants from a range of backgrounds working in sectors relevant to severe malnutrition and child health, as it is important to consider all perspectives. If you would like to take part, please click the link below which will take you through to the study’s information sheet and consent form. After you have provided consent, the link will take you to the page of the online questionnaire.

Please share this email/link with colleagues as you wish. We need as many views represented as possible.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Warm regards & very best wishes,

Marko
