Study Title: Opportunities and challenges for physiotherapist to integrate sleep interventions in the care for people with arthritis


We invite you to participate in a research project to understand the opportunities and challenges faced by physiotherapists in integrating sleep counselling into arthritis care. These include recommendations from the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines. The project team consists of four Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) students, Cameron Fay, Christopher Tong, Shannon Stelzer, and Seanathon Morphy, who are supervised by Dr. Linda Li at the University of British Columbia.

Participation in the survey is anonymous and voluntary. Answering the questionnaire will take between 10 to 15 minutes.

Your completion of this survey indicates your consent to participate in the study. All information which would permit identification of an individual will be kept strictly confidential. No individual outside the research team will have access to the data. Only group data, discussing trends and comparisons, for example, will be published.

You may withdraw from this study at any time without providing a reason. If you choose to enter the study and then decide to withdraw at a later time, your information will not be able to be withdrawn as the survey is completed anonymously and the data cannot be linked in any way back to your identity. The anonymized data will be made publicly available through publication. Making the data publicly available should pose no additional risk to you.

Thank you for taking the time to read the letter of information.
