Here is a great opportunity to help research and to receive $150 as a Thank You. This researcher has been
“vetted” and found to be legitimate. They are selling nothing, simply conducting research
interviews. The interviews are kept confidential and no one here online will be privy to the answers. Please look
carefully at the qualifying conditions:
- Diagnosed within the past year or two
- Aged 40–70
- Must be diagnosed with one of the following
- COPD
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Current or past smokers
- We do not want those currently using supplemental oxygen therapy
Please contact Maggie with LaGrippe Research. Tell them that the EFFORTS group sent you.
They are currently working on a project on the topic of COPD, Chronic Bronchitis, and Emphysema and would
like to speak with those who have been recently diagnosed to discuss their journey so far and gain feedback on several
topics related to these conditions.
At no point will they try to sell anyone anything and this is NOT a clinical trial. This will be in the form of a
75–minute web assisted interview, and those that qualify and participate will be compensated $150 as a
thank you.
If you are interested, please fill out the preliminary questions online at
SurveyMonkey
If you have any questions, please contact Maggie at 847–373–4104 or email
