My name is Derrick Chan and I am an Administrative Assistant for the Flight Attendant Medical Research Institute at the University of California at San Francisco. I was wondering whether you had any contacts to flight attendant mailing lists or union representatives to try to reach out to flight attendants to participate in our study posted below. I have been unable to find any contacts for Southwest Airlines in particular. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
EPHI: Flight Attendant Medical Research Institute Study
The University of California, San Francisco in a study involving all flight attendants over the age of 40 with a minimum of 5 years flight experience. We are looking at the effects of second hand smoke and its correlation with lung and heart disease and hoping you would all be willing to participate. Participants should expect to have a Pulmonary Function test (PFT) and an examination by one of our physicians.
Patients will be paid $100.00 approximately 6-8 weeks on completion of their appointment. In addition, volunteers will receive a parking voucher and lunch vouchers for use at the UCSF Cafeteria.
Whether or not they participate in the clinical study, we would like flight attendants to complete our online questionnaire found at http://www.imenet.net/UCSFQuest/
If you have any suggestions on how to reach other flight attendants, please contact us at FAMRI@ucsfmedctr.org. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
