Dear Member,
We are researching infections that are possibly associated with recreational use of open water. We want to hear from you about your awareness of, or any previous experience of such infection that you may have had. This research is being carried out by the Public Health Bathing Water Group of the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Participation is voluntary and all responses are anonymous.
This will take 5 – 6 minutes and to thank you for taking part there is a chance to win a prize of €150 One4all gift voucher. If you wish to enter this draw, you will be asked for your e-mail address. Please note that e-mail addresses will not be shared with any 3rd parties, are not linked to responses and will only be used for the purposes of the prize draw.
Your anonymous feedback will be used to help us to get a better understanding of the burden of illness with the intent of producing health advice to minimise this risk.
If you have questions at any time about the study, please feel free to contact the principal investigator Dr Katharine Harkin by email at: katharine.harkin.
