Opinion Health Market is a research agency based in London, UK. They work closely with several pharmaceutical companies helping them out to gather better knowledge and understanding of different treatment options for a variety of medical conditions.
Presently, they are working on a study to learn more about the challenges that patients diagnosed with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) come across on a daily basis.
They would like to connect with parents who have children age 12 – 17 years suffering from HAE and receiving topical treatment and have asked Ben’s friends to help get the word out.
The study involves a simple 90 min telephone conversation with a parent and a child that would be scheduled at the time convenient for them. As a way of thank you each participant who successfully completes the study will be reimbursed with a voucher of 180 USD.
Study is strictly confidential and all answers provided during the interview as well as personal details of participants with not be passed on to the third party; results will be used for research purposes only.
