Survey: Adherence to Vitamins & Minerals Supplementation

Hi everyone,

My name is Cherry, a graduate student in the Nutritional Sciences Program at University of Washington. As a future dietitian, I'm interested in bariatric nutrition and renal nutrition.

It is known that routine supplementation of certain Vitamins and minerals is a lifelong requirement for all bariatric surgery patients to minimize the risks of nutritional deficiencies on health. However, little research is on how patients are adherent to their supplement regimens and why they are unable to adhere to it. The research project that I'm currently working on aims to study post-operative adherence to vitamins and minerals supplementation in people who underwent bariatric surgeries. The data is to be collected via an online survey.

Thanks to Alex Brecher. He gave me the permission to post my survey in the forum. If you are interested, please click the link below for the full survey:

Web link of the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LCWL627

Your participation will help us get a better understanding of this topic and enable healthcare providers to develop strategies to improve patients' adherence to supplementation.

Thanks for your time and any feedback.

Cherry

Hi Cherry...tried the survey however cannot get beyond height question. ...I'm 5'9 however it keeps requesting a positive number??

First, thank you so much for your try and agreement to participate, and telling me the trouble you had. ^_^

The height question has two text boxes for each of the units: feet and inch. Your are 5'9, so put 5 in the Feet box and 9 in the Inch box (5 feet 9 inch). I guess you put 5'9 as a whole in just one of the boxes, (e.g. 5'9 feet), and the survey doesn't understand what that combination means :blink:

Thanks again and please feel free to ask if you have other questions :)

Have a great weekend!

I'm going to start data analysis of the survey results soon, and my defense will be in the early December. However, the survey will open until I finish my thesis, since the more responses we get, the better we understand this topic and take care of individual concerns in the practical setting. The responses we got so far already gave us a great deal of new viewpoints and a variety of future research ideas!!
