Dear Former and Present
Orthodontic Jaw Wiring patients
who opted-in to be a part of
this study:
Thank you for your
participation.
If for any reason you have a
problem in progressing through
the questions email me at:
drted35@aol.com or call me at
the office: (718) 852-1551.
Questions with an * require you
to answer them (ex., Q.1) or
else you will be unable to
proceed to the next query.
If you find you cannot proceed
to the following page after
clicking the "Next" button check
to see if you have completed ALL
the * questions.
This survey allows you to go
back to previous question and
change them. However, once you
have clicked the "Done" button
you may no longer recall any of
the questions.
If you feel you "messed up" your
survey after you clicked on the
"Done" button you can request
that I resend it to you in order
to retake it.
Respondents' instructions for
completing the OJW*
Questionnaire survey:
This is an ambitious and
exhaustive study. There are 78
inquiries. It will take you
twenty-thirty minutes to
complete.
I plan to present the findings
of the study at the 109th
meeting of the American
Association of Orthodontists in
Boston on May 4, 2009.
"Non-responders" who decide to
opt back in at a later date will
be most welcome. If the survey
is marked "Closed" you have only
to notify me and I will "Open"
it for you.
This survey updates
automatically whenever a
respondent clicks on the "Done"
button, which appears when the
last question is answered.
There are seven sections:
Demographics (3Qs), Background
(17), Safety (11), Effectiveness
(10), Problems (15), Conclusions
(17) and Miscellaneous (4).
Many of the questions allow you
to grade your response on a
scale of 0 to 5 in order to
allow you to quantify how
strongly you feel about your
response.
Some simply ask you to choose
the response that best describes
how you feel.
Some are answerable by yes or
no.
Others require you to check off
the answers that are applicable
to you.
Finally, a few of the questions
give you the option to to
provide a brief but thoughtful
response.
Please be frank. As the French
say: "Sonner vrai comme une
cloche"...just tell it like it
was/is.
An gift of $35 will be my way of
thanking you for completing the
questionnaire. Toward that end,
inquiry 77 requires that you
provide your name and current
address.
I will publish the results of
the study on my web site @
[http://www.drted.com/OJW
Questionnaire survey and
results.htm], and notify you
without delay when I post them.
Thank you again for taking part
in this survey to gauge the
safety and effectiveness of the
OJW approach for weight control
in compulsive overeating.
Cordially,
