research study needs middle-aged asian american women

Here's another one of these research studies that needs some Asian Americans... Dr. Eun-Ok Im is conducting an internet study on the physical activity attitudes among diverse ethnic groups of middle-aged women (40-60 years old). They're apparently having some trouble recruiting Asian American women for the study, so I'm spreading the word. Here are some details:
Eun-Ok Im, PhD, MPH, RN, CNS, FAAN, School of Nursing, The University of Texas at Austin and her colleagues are conducting a study to explore ethnic differences in midlife women's attitudes toward physical activity.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you are a midlife woman aged 40 to 60 years old who does not have any mobility problems; who can read and write English; who is online; and whose self-reported ethnic identity is Hispanic, non-Hispanic (N-H) White, N-H African American, or N-H Asian.

Data will be collected through an Internet survey among 500 midlife women in the U.S. starting Feb. 1 2008 and ending May 21, 2011.

Your involvement will consist of about 30 minutes to complete the Internet survey questionnaire. You will be reimbursed with a 10 dollar gift certificate for filling out the Internet survey.

For more information and to begin the survey, please visit our project website (http://mapa.nur.utexas.edu/MAPA/) and/or contact us.
Each survey takes about 30 minutes to complete. The survey will begin by asking a series of eligibility questions. If you're ineligible you will be notified. Each participant will be reimbursed with a gift certificate of 10 dollars per survey. To take the survey, go here.
