Opportunities to Participate in Research

Griffith University’s School of Applied Psychology is conducting a study on the relationship between persistent (chronic) pain, attention to pain and emotional connectedness.

This research is expected in increase understanding of the social and emotional experiences of people suffering from persistent pain. This understanding may lead to improved practical and psychological interventions. If you are a woman aged between 25 and 55 years, who has suffered from persistent muscular-skeletal pain (for example, fibromyalgia, back pain or arthritis) for a least six months you are eligible to take part. To thank you for your participation you can choose to inter a draw for a $50 remedial massage voucher, which will be drawn at the end of the study in 2012. The survey can be completed online via:
