We are investigating how pelvic pain impacts social and academic engagement as well as healthcare utilization among college students.
Thank you for your interest in the PelvPain Study!
To complete this study, you will first be asked a series of short screener questions to make sure you are eligible for the study. If you are eligible, you will complete a consent form and then fill out a questionnaire. Filling out the eligibility survey, consent, and questionnaire should take about 25-40 minutes. You will receive a $20 Amazon gift card for completing the questionnaire.
As a side note, by pelvic pain, we mean any pain that you may feel in your lower abdomen, which could be related to period cramps, irritable bowel syndrome or any other condition that leads to pain in your lower abdomen.
Before you get started, please make sure that you have 25-40 minutes to complete the screener questions, consent form and questionnaire. Additionally, it might be a good idea to make sure you are in a private space with minimal distractions while completing the questionnaire. We recommend completing the questionnaire on a laptop, tablet, or iPad.
If you don’t have 25-40 minutes right now, feel free to bookmark this site or text the website URL to yourself as a reminder to come back to this later when you have more time.
Feel free to send us an email with any questions that you have about the study or call the Principle Investigator Amy Shafrir at 978-837-3526.
