Adult Volunteers Wanted for a Research Study
Energy Status and Protein Intake as Prognostic Indicators of Rehabilitative Outcomes (ESPI-PRO)
We are conducting interviews with adults aged 40-70 about our newly developed dietary protein questionnaire. A one time, 60-minute interview will be conducted at the UConn Storrs campus.
Participants will complete and discuss the questionnaire about routine consumption of protein foods in a small group setting.
Who is eligible?
- Adults who are 40-70 years old
- Able to read and write in English
There may not be a direct benefit from this research. However, the interviews will assist us in refining the dietary screener to provide valid information in a future study which will characterize protein intake in orthopedic surgery patients.
