Quote:Participants required for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome study.

Researchers at La Trobe University, Australia, are conducting an international study into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We are seeking people who have been medically diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to participate in a study examining their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in regard to their illness. Participants must be over 18 years of age or older, and other than their Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, be in good health.

Participants will be required to spend approximately 30 minutes completing an online questionnaire. If you are interested in participating in this research please contact the researchers via email at cfsresearch@latrobe.edu.au. You will be supplied with an ID number and password to access the online questionnaire. A comprehensive information sheet outlining the study will be presented prior to commencing the questionnaire to ensure informed consent.
