EMPOWER-UP: WEBSITE MESSAGE INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We are a group of researchers in Australia, Denmark and the UK that is interested in your views about your interactions with your health care provider. If you have had an interaction with a healthcare provider within the last 6 months and have (had) a diagnosis of either Diabetes or Cancer you may be eligible to join a 10-15 minutes online survey study in which a new questionnaire is being developed and tested.
