This message is directed only to men aged 18 or over living in the UK. Men under the age of 18 should not respond.
I am a senior lecturer in Medical Sociology at the University of Sheffield and I am conducting an exploratory study on men's health. In particular I am interested in finding out more about men's awareness of any illness which may run in their family (for example, diabetes, cancers, heart disease etc) and how this might affect men's own feelings about their present and future health and well-being. Currently, men's health is an under researched area. In particular little is known about men's views on illness in the family and the role genetics may play in affecting their own health and health behaviours and that of their children. As genetics and family health history are becoming an increasingly important part of the prevention and treatment of a range of diseases, this is an important area of research.
Men aged 18 or over are invited to complete the questionnaire on men's health clicking on the link below. The research questionnaire should not be responded to by men who are under the age of 18. The questionnaire is short and should only take a few minutes of your time. The questionnaire is totally anonymous and your responses are confidential. No one will be able to identify you from your responses. You are also free to withdraw from participating at any time. Data will be stored securely and confidential data will be used to inform the development of academic research papers in the area of men's health. If you are happy to participate please use the web link below. Your participation in this study is much appreciated.
