Hello.

We are sending you this email to invite you to participate in an
on-line web survey. The study aims to investigate the internet as a
form of support for those who have Diabetes. The study should only take
about 20 minutes and involves filling out 1 questionnaire about your
personal feelings. The findings of this study will hopefully provide
evidence that internet discussion groups are valid form of support for
those who have Diabetes. Such evidence would have important
implications for those who have Diabetes and their friends, family and
healthcare workers.

The study is being conducted by a psychology undergraduate at the
University of Manchester, UK, under the supervision of a member of
staff. It has been screened and approved by the School of Psychological
Sciences Research Ethics Committee at the university. We shall be
collecting data between now and late March/early April and will provide
feedback to the discussion group when the research is complete. We
would be grateful for as many people to participate as possible.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the study prior to deciding
whether to participate please make contact via the following email
