Whiplash Injury Recovery - QLD Only



About the Study

Help us review the 'Whiplash Injury Recover: A Self-Management Guide'

Physiotherapists from The University of Queensland in conjunction with the Motor Accident Insurance Commission are reviewing the publication 'Whiplash Injury Recovery: A Self-Management Guide' in preparation for producing the 2nd edition of the publication.

To ensure the Guide is meeting the information needs of people with whiplash, we are inviting people with whiplash to participate in the review.

The review process will provide information relating to two important questions:

  • What is the best way to provide people with information about whiplash?
  • Does the Guide provide the information about whiplash that people want?

If you are over 18 years of age and have a whiplash injury, there are two ways of participating in the review:

  1. If you live in Brisbane, we are holding group discussions of approximately one and a half hours duration, at the UQ St Lucia Campus.

  2. If you live in rural Australia, we are keen to gain your views and we will conduct telephone interviews.

Focus groups and telephone interviews will be conducted during March and April 2010.

Note:- The Telephone Interview Participants for this study can be from anywhere in Australia. If people email me their contact number, I will phone them for the interview as I don’t have a 1800 number available for this study. The only part that is geographically specific is the Focus Groups, which are being held in Brisbane.
