This is Pamela Huggins of Hagen/Sinclair Research Recruiting with a paid online study for articulate teens and pre-teens age 10 to 17.

We are conducting a national research study to get pre-teens' and teens' perspectives on the obesity issue and whether or not it's affecting the lifestyle and interests of these kids. We are seeking many participants -- so please feel free to share this invitation with friends, relatives and co-workers. Thank you!!

We invite your child to contribute to a seven-day online blogging study beginning Monday, July 16 and completing Sunday, July 22. The study will require between 15 - 45 minutes per day completing a variety of activities in the home and on the computer.

At no time will your child’s identity be disclosed, as all input will be housed on a secure site being maintained solely for the purposes of the study.

Study participants will receive a $100 Amazon gift card to thank them for their contribution.

If your child would be interested to take part, please respond with your answers to all the questions below. If this information indicates a good fit for the study, I will be in touch soon to discuss participation with both you and your child, and hopefully sign him or her up to participate!
