Seeking feedback on research.

I'm seeking your thoughts, ideas and suggestions...

I've been reviewing my research project into the impact of psychiatric hospital smoking bans.  It is very important that we get as many responses as possible (f we really want the results taken seriously), and I am looking what else I can do to boost numbers.

Some people have suggested that the length of my surveys may be a deterrent for some.  I'm thinking of making up a shorter, open qualitative version for people who hate forms, and maybe also a really brief '1 pager' for people in a rush.  What do you think?

Please comment on the blog or email me if you have any contributions.  Thank you :)

  1. Surveys don't reflect the thoughts and actions of people. they are a marketing ploy.

  2. I am a Fieldworker in Mental Health and have always stated that to ban smoking in a Psychiatric ward is nothing short of cruel, I get sick of all the PC ROT and think it goes to far. When people get admitted to a Psych Ward, I think they are far to sick to be told they cannot smoke, it is certainly not the right time to expect people with Mental Illness to give up, it is against human rights for sure and completely stupid.

  4. It is inherently cruel to ask those who are in a psych ward to focus not on their issues but to take on another issue simply because those in power say they must. How can they possibly focus on getting well if you take the last vestige of their freedom away while they are in a locked {usually} ward?
    It is cruel and unfair and it has nothing to do with treatment of their issues. Don't these poor souls have enough to deal with?

  8. A recent study lead by the Berkeley institute in the U.S has exposed the dangers of smoking indoors.
    It is called 3rd hand smoking and is just as bad if not worse then 2nd hand smoking. This occurs when cigarette smoke is mixed with a common indoor pollutant called nitrous acid and turns into a dangerous carcinogen called TSNA.
    This is extremely dangerous not only for adults but even worse for children through dermal uptake as it absorbs into all surfaces in the room.
    I have been touched by cancer several times in my family and two of those family members had never touched a cigarette in there lives. This drove me to do something about it as I believe that non smokers should not be exposed to these dangers due to others that choose to do so. I discovered that for many years now they have had highly advanced technology in the U.S the U.K and also Germany to detect cigarette smoke and enforce non smoking areas.
    Because of this I have recently started a business called Health Tech Industries and I am pleased to say that cigarette smoke and flame detection is now available in Australia.

  13. The E-cigarette is utilized as though it were a real cigarette. You will be able to inhale just like a real cigarette, as well as exhale just like a real cigarette.
