Gout Footwear Survey |
An invitation to participate in this survey
The Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in New Zealand is conducting an internet survey exploring footwear experiences in people with gout. AUT would like to invite you to participate in this survey. The survey will consist of multiple choice questions regarding the footwear you currently wear and the things that are important to you when choosing footwear. You will also have the opportunity to provide more detailed feedback on your footwear experiences and the impact that footwear has on your feet and your ability to do the things you want to do. In addition, the survey will ask some general questions relating to your gout.
This research provides an opportunity to identity current footwear trends in people with gout. The results of the survey will be submitted for publication and will help to justify further research into this area.
