Injuries in Rock Climbing Survey

Information Sheet
 
This is an information sheet describing the survey. 

Just as an FYI: If you are under 18 or have spent less than half of your climbing time climbing sport or bouldering, you won’t be able to complete this survey. I plan on coming back later and looking other climbing disciplines, but right now I’m focused mainly on sport/bouldering. I’m including this disclaimer here after some initial survey-takers were surprised to be disqualified early on in the survey. If you are 18 or older and have spent at least half your climbing time climbing sport or bouldering, read on!
 
Title: Survey of Chronic Injuries in Rock Climbers
 
Principle Investigator: Alex Folkl

Faculty Sponsor: Rodger Kessler

You are being invited to take part in a research study on the prevalence, causes, and consequences of chronic injuries in rock climbers. This study is being conducted by Alex Folkl, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.

You will be asked to answer 16 questions, which should take less than five minutes to complete. These include demographic questions (age, gender), and questions about climbing and injury history.

The information being collected in this survey is anonymous. We hope that study results will fill gaps in medical knowledge about injuries in climbers, and in so doing will allow you to anticipate what kinds of chronic injuries to be on guard for the longer you climb, and what kinds of lifestyle modification may be necessary to cope with those injuries.

Your participation in this study is fully voluntary and you may choose not to participate. The results of this study may be published. However, the information obtained during this study is confidential, and as we will not ask for your name or any identifying information, you will remain anonymous in any publications.

If you have any questions concerning your participation please contact Alex Folkl at
rockclimbingsurvey@gmail.com. Questions concerning your rights as a participant in this research can be directed to Nancy Stalnaker, Director of the Research Protections Office at the University of Vermont, by calling (802) 656-5040. Your consent to participate is implied upon the completion of the survey.
Thank-you.
