Good morning,

I have recently received approval and can now begin recruiting participants for a study that seeks to explore the information behaviour of people who access Wikipedia’s health and medical content. This study applies theories and models of information behaviour from the discipline of library and information science.

I kindly ask that you share this study widely within your personal and professional networks as I require 25-30 participants. Participants will be asked to complete a short online survey and participate in an interview over Zoom. Participants who complete both the survey and the interview will receive a $25 CAD gift card to a coffee shop of their choice.

I have attached the recruitment poster here. Details about the study can be found on the study’s project page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_and_consumer_health_information_behaviour and those interested in participating can email wikistudy3@gmail.com

Thanks very much,

Denise
