Attachment 8: Recruiting Announcement for Non-employees of NIOSH
WANTED
VOLUNTEERS FOR NIOSH STUDY
AGES 18 AND OVER
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is studying the size and amount of droplets that people produce when they cough. We are recruiting volunteers to be test respondents in a study. The study is being conducted at NIOSH, 1095 Willowdale Road in Morgantown (next to the WVU Health Sciences Center).
What is required?
First, the study will be explained to you and you will be asked to fill out a short health questionnaire, including questions about any history of respiratory problems. Next, you will be asked to sit with your head and shoulders in a clear box and cough three times into a measurement system, waiting 10 minutes between coughs. The test session will take about an hour to complete.
Reimbursement
You will be reimbursed $20.00 for the time you spend in the study.
Possible risks
During the study, you will be asked several times to take a deep breath and cough hard. There is a slight possibility that this may cause you to become dizzy or faint. Other than this, you should not be at any risk or experience any discomfort during this study. This type of testing is similar to commonly-used medical procedures and has been done before at NIOSH.
Who is eligible?
You must be at least 18 years of age, in generally good health, and a United States citizen. Smokers and non-smokers are welcome. You should not participate if you have a medical condition or illness that would make it difficult or uncomfortable for you to perform the test procedure described above in “What is required?” You should not participate if you have a respiratory infection such as a cold, influenza (the flu), or tuberculosis.
What if I am interested?
For more information call Bill Lindsley at 304-285-6336 or e-mail [email protected] Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
