i saw this flyer today on the desk of the postpartum nurses unit. i made a copy: Attention Nurses The Harrison Group, an international marketing research firm, is conducting a study with nurses regarding the nurses' role in new mom's infant feeding choices. This study will consist of a 25 minute in-depth internet study and an honorarium of $90 [this is printed boldly and larger on a separate line and sayss] if completed by this weekend either via internet or phone. STUDY COMING TO AN END = CALL TODAY! Will be paid to those who complete the survey. As in all market research, there are some questions we must ask to make sure that the study is appropriate for you. Qualifying questions should take less than 5 minutes depending upon your answers. If you wold like more inforamtion about how you can participate in this importnat research project, please call 1 800 969 9235 extension 3512 9 to 5 EST monday thru friday only 3 per practice please. i am guessing this is a formula marketing tactic. who else would pay that kind of "honorarium"? i would bet that LC types would be excluded from this research. and then the nurses who favor giving discharge packs and generally don't care/know about exclusive bf, would slant the research. i didn't call the ph. no. it is usa. the top of the fax says 5/1/02 McMillion Research (that is not a typo).
