Hi Everybody:
The PMR survey is now ready for "official" release. Most of the changes were made as a result of input from a group called PMR Fighters in the UK. They already had a paper questionnaire they were using for their members with quite a bit of overlap with the original version of the survey, so I incorporated additional questions from their questionnaire, as well as changes requested by Professor Dasgupta, who is a researcher in the UK currently doing research on PMR/GCA and has been working with both the PMR Fighters group as well as the PMR and GCA Tayside Support group.
I have not deleted any questions, so for those from this forum who responded to the original survey, your data will not be lost. If you wish to fill it out again and answer just the new questions, please also fill out questions 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (4 and 5 are new, bumping up the old 4, 5, 6, and 7). The answers to these should be unique enough that I will be able to figure out which new response belongs with the old.

When you bring up the survey, please make sure you are looking at the new version, as it is possible your browser may bring up a cached version of the page to the old version. The new version has 27 questions. If your browser does bring up the old version, you can usually force a fresh load of the page by clicking on the reload/refresh button on your browser while simultaneously pressing the ctrl key. If that doesn't work, you will need to delete your cache entries on your browser -- your browser's help should tell you how to do this.
Hi Everybody:
It occurred to me that in my instructions in the first entry of this topic regarding those who already filled out the previous version of the survey and who want to fill out the new one but with only the new questions, that I should also have asked you to identify that you had already submitted a response. The best way to do this would be to indicate in the last question that this is what you are doing, including the approximate date of your original entry if you remember. That way, I can more easily distinguish your response from completely new ones.
If any of you submitted a response to the old survey and have already submitted a new response, please indicate in this topic that you have done so and approximately when you did so. This will help me preserve your original responses.
Many thanks for putting the survey together. Hope we will be able to see consolidated results.
