More info...

Compensation is $75 for a little over two hours of time investment, but you won't get your money for close to a year and a half! Still not a bad deal if you're at all curious about the study. I think I'm going to pass if they call...


Thanks for your interest in our HPV research. Here is a bit of info about our study:
We are studying Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections. HPV are viruses that infect skin cells. We are interested in studying HPV infections of the genital tract in women aged 25 to 65, including the relationship between infection of the genital tract by human papillomavirus (HPV) and sexual practices, health behaviors, and health history. If you decide to participate, and are eligible, you will be asked to self-collect 4 sets of vaginal samples for HPV testing at home, 4 months apart. You will also be asked to complete a medical/sexual history questionnaire each time you self-collect samples. Each self-collection takes about 10 minutes to complete and each questionnaire takes about 30 minutes to complete. If you are interested, you will also receive the results of your HPV tests. We will tell you ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ and if positive, we’ll tell you which genital type(s) you are positive for.

There is $75.00 compensation for participating, which will be mailed at the end of your participation in the study. Also, all the testing is free and we cover all mailing costs.

If you sign up for the study, you are assigned a unique study code and all your questionnaires and samples are labeled with that code - no names are attached to samples or questionnaires. I (the study coordinator) am the only one who has access to the (secure) database that can link your name and study number.

We will need to go through a screening interview to determine if you are eligible - this takes about 10 minutes and has to be done via phone. Is there a number and specific time I can reach you before 5pm Pacific time?

this study is similar to that one that this NY university was doing. except they weren't paying. they offered you a chance to "win $50". lol
this is better.
I might try it later.
thanks OP.

So... You ladies are willing to spend a total of 40 minutes collecting "vaginal samples" and spend 2 total hours filling out paperwork about your personal sex life so you can get $75 in the year 2010?! :shake:

Times are officially tough!

i am lost where did it say no pay till 2010??? thats crazy:lol: i could be dead by then,well hopefully not but, my thats a long time away

i think I need more than 75 bucks to swab my vag

yah really $175 would have been way more worth it and getting paid this year would have also helped

I dont see a big deal. it's free, no one sees your snatch, and you are helping reasearch. Where does it say you have to wait 2 years for compensation?

NM I know the answer now. Won't bother to call.

but why would women search for a man online? woman seem to like to go in public and find them

hey. i called and she said we would recieve the 2nd kit sometime in december. hope this helps.:nod:

Thank you :) I was starting to wonder about that. Did anyone get any kind of acknowledgement or anything when you sent in the 1st kit?

i emailed and she said she recieved my kit, that's when she told me next kit 2 be mailed in dec.

Anyone receive their 2nd kit yet?

Thank you :) I was starting to wonder about that. Did anyone get any kind of acknowledgement or anything when you sent in the 1st kit?

Nope

Anyone receive their 2nd kit yet?

Nope

Is this study still available?

Anyone receive their 2nd kit yet?

I havent even received my first! I signed all these forms and never received anything. :rolleyes:

Nope, no 2nd kit here either. Do anyone remember around when it was supposed to come?

I received my 2nd kit last saturday.

Nope, no 2nd kit here either. Do anyone remember around when it was supposed to come?

I got an email and the second kit was to arrive by 12-19-08. I got mine 12-16-08.

i have not received my 2nd kit either and they said it was suppose to be here in december

I didn't get mine either. I think I will call them on Monday and ask them were it is. Does it come via Fed-Ex or regular mail?

Thanks in advance everyone!!

I still haven't gotten my first kit - but I emailed her and she said they were waiting on a shipment of supplies and that it would go out after the new year.

too young. damn.

Ditto

I got an email and the second kit was to arrive by 12-19-08. I got mine 12-16-08.
thanks for the info and repped.. I guess I will send an email

She just emailed me back


Thanks for checking in - I am awaiting delivery of supplies before I can send out your kit (we have had some severe weather here and the city was basically shut down for a week and a half). As soon as I am able to send your kit, I will do so, and will send an email informing you that it is on it's way.

Anyone get their third kit yet?

I just realized the email they sent me in February was sent without blind carbon copy, so other participants' names and email addresses were visible to everyone. They are right when they say "The confidentiality of email correspondence cannot be guaranteed."

I got mine 3 or 4 days ago

Does anyone know when we are supposed to get paid for this?

The study is called "HPV Infections in Older Women"

How is a 25 year old considered an older woman?

Does anyone know when we are supposed to get paid for this?
I received my 4th and last kit. I just called Susan O'Reily about payment arrangements... She said as soon as I mail back the last kit I will get my $75.:woot:

This study is for one year and one year went by fast.

This is still open, I sent an email yesterday to find out more and got a response today and the phone number to call and see if I qualify.
