- iCHARM Lab Digicomm Survey Recruitment
Dear George Mason,
We hope you’re doing well! My name is Anne Diouf, and I’m a student at George Washington University and a research assistant in the iCHARM Lab at the George Washington School of Nursing. I’m reaching out regarding recruiting participants for our “Digital Health Communications in Cancer Prevention Among Minority Young Adults” study, under the direction of Dr. Daisy Le at the George Washington University (GWU) School of Nursing.
We are interested in learning about cancer prevention knowledge and behavior, as well as the usage of online platforms, social media, and mHealth for obtaining health and/or cancer-related information. We are looking for participants who:
-
Are a young adult between 18-40 years old,
-
Self-identify with an underrepresented racial/ethnic minority community
-
Can communicate in English, and
-
Are a current U.S. resident
Participants will complete an eligibility screening by visiting the link https://is.gd/digicomm. Once completed, a research team member will follow up via email and invite the participant to complete: a 15-minute online survey, for which they will receive a $5 Amazon e-gift card.
Please do share the below flier with your organization’s members – all information you share through the study will remain confidential, and the information you share will contribute to current public health knowledge about digital communication and health information, which may in turn inform future intervention programs using digital communication and social media aimed to improve health among minority young adults.
Thank you so much for your time, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Based on the belief that health and function can be improved through physical interventions, Physical Therapy (PT) is a healing art that uses techniques like therapeutic exercise, joint and soft tissue mobilization, cardiovascular rehabilitation, wound care, neuromuscular re-education, and the use of physical and mechanical modalities to help treat patients. PTs are vital members of the healthcare team who work closely with physicians, physician assistants, occupational therapists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, speech pathologists, and others to meet the individual healthcare needs of each patient.
Join us for an upcoming online information session to learn more about the GW Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program and our admissions process. This information session is designed to equip prospective PT students with information to make an informed decision about joining the profession.
