Quality of Life Survey 2

1.

 
In July of this year Innervate (www.innervate.co.uk) is launching a conference for health professionals called LIFEPSYCHOL 2009. This event has the support of a number of organisations, all listed on the conference website, www.lifepsychol.com. As part of the event we will be talking about the term ‘quality of life’ and we would like to learn more about what ‘quality of life’ means to healthy people. To help generate that information we would be grateful if you could answer the following questions which shouldn’t take any longer than 10 minutes. If you do have a long term condition please do not complete this survey and go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=pv5sMhBORF7oEXC_2faUwdlg_3d_3d
