Surveys
1. We have a quick Feedback Survey for you to complete once you have viewed the video and completed the homework tasks. The Feedback Survey just asks a few questions about how useful and usable this week's content has been. It will only take a couple of minutes to complete. This will let us improve the relevancy and easy of use of each week's content. Start survey.
2. In four weeks time we will email you with a link to the final survey of this research project. It will ask you again about many of the issues we asked about at the start of this project to see if anything has changed after you have engaged with this ReFresh online fatigue management program.
