I totally agree. I always fill out these types of surveys. I figure
if it helps spread the word about quads, the more the better. If they
get rich off of the information, great! It means our info has spread
far and wide. We don't want to return to the back room do we?

At 11:59 AM 2/14/2011, Don Price said something that elicited my response:
If Shanna is studying to get her degree to help those of us with
spinal cord injuries [whether psychology, PT, OT or Medical,] I will
support her efforts. If helping those of us with SCI earn her a
decent living wage, say more power to her--she's earned it.
I understand that there are people out there who take advantage and
greedily prey on people with disabilities, but in my opinion
requests such as this are not in that category.
I'll be happy to look at the survey and fill it out if I can be of
help. Good luck with your degree, Shanna.
Don.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Help needed-and so do we
Greetings Shanna,
You are not the first, nor with you be the last to enlist members
here for your study. Each year around this time of the season the
Quad-List receives several requests for us to share tangible
information so that people like yourself can graduate and make tons
of money, while many here are barely living at the poverty level..
just to survive. May I ask..
Is your present study supported by the National Spinal Cord Assoc as
an approved study?
Is your present study supported by any of the national disAbility
programs or support groups?
I personally haven't taken the time yet to visit your survey, but it
would be nice to see that some kind of benefit would be available to
those who are supplying you with the information for your survey to
graduate and make tons of money. I hope you never, never forget
those who supported your study.
Best Wishes

Hello everyone and happy Valentine's day! I am writing because I
need participants for a study I am doing for my doctorate in
psychology. Not sure if any of you meet the qualifications or if
you have looked at my survey but your help would be
appreciated. For those that have looked at it or completed the
survey thank you. I have posted the qualifications and the link for
the survey below. Thanks again!
Shanna
The focus is on how couples in which the male has a spinal cord
injury cope and how the coping style affects various aspects of
life. This study is done online and can be completed at your
convenience. To qualify you must meet the following qualifications
1) you are a male with a spinal cord injury; 2) you are over the age
of 18; 3) you have been injured at least 2 years and 4) you have
been married for at least 6 months. The questionnaire needs to be
completed separately by you and your spouse. Upon completion of the
questionnaire both you and your spouse will be entered for a chance
to win a 200 dollar Visa gift card. If interested in helping please
