Hello! My name is Megan Barton and I am an undergraduate
athletic training / sports medicine student at Central
Michigan University. I am conducting research about the type
and frequency of injuries that occur in competitive quad
rugby. This study will help sports medicine professionals to
understand the types of injuries that occur with quad rugby
athletes in order to improve the care of athletic injuries
sustained in competitive quad rugby.

The study will be conducted through an online survey at

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=FrydYlE0Ku2pJ9jv_2bOTpxg_3d_3d

The study will take a brief 5-10 minutes and the
participants will provide information about the types of
injuries they have faced while participating in quad rugby
and what type of treatment was received for the injury. The
survey will be available online until Sunday November 30,
2008.
With your permission I will contact each of the 38 national
quad rugby teams through e-mail stating the purpose of the
study and providing a link to the survey to pass on to
athletes from each team.

If you have any questions or concerns about this study
please contact me or my faculty advisor at:
Megan Barton barto2me@cmich.edu (586)531-6425
Carrie Mcgillis basse1ca@cmich.edu (989)774-1341

Thank you and have a wonderful day!
