We are conducting research for a client, investigating people's experiences around vitamins and supplements. We work at IDEO, a highly respected development consultancy, which you can learn more about at www.ideo.com.
If you qualify for the study, we will visit you for 1.5 hours, sometime between 6/25 and 7/3. The visit will be wherever you usually do the activities that qualify you for the study – probably your home or workplace. We’ll interview you and ask you about your personal experience with vitamins or supplements. For this participation, we will pay you $125.
If you would like to participate, please email userstudy@ideo.com with replies to the questions below (or, if you’d prefer, you can call Maria at 617-844-2491)
1. We’re looking for people who have interesting experience with vitamins and supplements. Here are some examples (but it’s fine if your interesting case isn’t listed):
- You are a doctor/nutritionist/alternative medicine practitioner that keeps up with news about vitamins or supplements and regularly discusses them with patients.
- You are a writer or editor for a journal, magazine or blog focused on vitamins and supplements, or nutrition.
- You are the owner of a health food store that sells vitamins and supplements.
- You have done extensive research and have reason to believe vitamins and supplements are a huge farce, with zero or negative effect on health.
- You are fighting a debilitating disease that you believe is helped by taking vitamins or supplements regularly.
- You are an extreme athlete or a trainer and take or recommend vitamins/supplements for performance. We’re especially interested in interviewing an extreme athlete and his/her trainer as a pair.
- You have eliminated all processed foods from your diet. You only consume natural foods and only use natural products (cleaners, clothing, etc.) You take herbal or botanical supplements regularly as part of your diet.
- You buy vitamins for other unique/interesting reasons (e.g. hypochondria, pregnancy, pet nutrition) or take them in unique/interesting ways.
