Invitation to Participate June 19, 2006

Hello, I'm Jacquie Moss. I am completing my studies at Bauman College towards receiving a Nutrition Educator certificate. I initially became interested in nutrition as an alternate treatment for my depression.

I'm conducting an informal study - alongside additional research - on the relationship between food and mood. I would like to invite you to participate in the 'Mood Food Project' by completing a short questionnaire. Your answers will help me understand how others relate to food and cope with difficulties. I believe that simply by considering the questions could be a beneficial exercise for you. In a couple of weeks when I publish my research summary, my recommendations may be more relevant to you -- not just because your answers informed them, but also because you will already thinking about the relationship between what you eat and how you feel.

To be clear, I am not an expert on this subject. It remains a personal interest. My research is not scientific but is done with great care and scrutiny. The same care - and informality - apply to the questionnaire for which I'm seeking respondents. Your responses will be completely confidential; your name will not be published and your words will not be quoted.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the questionnaire.
