Dear Colleague,

Your answers to these questions are completely anonymous. To help maintain your privacy remember to not put any personally identifying information (such as your name or address) on this survey.

You qualify for this study if you are a licensed physical therapist (PT) or physical therapist assistant (PTA) and can help us a great deal by answering these questions. With this information we can better understand Physical Therapists attitudes toward medical marijuana and help others. Also, please only take the survey once.

Thank you for participating!

PURPOSE: The primary aim of this study is to understand how physical therapists view patients’ use of medical marijuana. In order to gain a more complete picture of the intersection between physical therapy and medical marijuana, we aim to survey current adult physical therapy patients who are also prescribed medical marijuana.  The patient perspective and use behaviors are important for physical therapists to understand to ensure safety and enhance patient education in the context of physical therapy intervention.

I understand that the researchers will keep my participation confidential and completely anonymous by not collecting any individually identifiable information.
