My name is Maya Kedmi, and I am an undergraduate research
assistant under the supervision of the Associate Dean for IFAS Extension, Dr.
Michael Gutter. I am currently conducting an IRB
approved study investigating the effects of framing on the decisions that
patients make regarding cancer treatment and its financial burden (IRB201902891). The
selected population for the study are pre-medical and medical students at the
University of Florida. We are interested in this particular population because
participants are likely to fall susceptible to the framing of suggested
treatments, indicating that there is a need for understanding how future health
professionals can potentially impact their patients’ critical health decisions.
Your sharing
of the survey with other
interested parties would be greatly appreciated. The survey will take
approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
The results of this study will be
extremely beneficial in understanding how the words that healthcare providers
choose to use impact their patients’ decisions, especially in the realm of
cancer treatment. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to
hearing from you. Should you have any questions about this letter or research
project, please feel free to contact me by email at mayakedmi@ufl.edu, or Dr. Michael Gutter by
email at msgutter@ufl.edu.
