The Million Women Study.
Years ago, l filled in one of these questionnaires in The Million Women Study, as l thought it would help research into women’s health.
This week, l received another questionnaire but like the last one, l am going to bin it.
The reason why? I feel it is far too intrusive.
Why do they need to know my current circumstances?
How many years in total have l used a gas hob? When l was a child, was gas used for cooking or did we have a gas fire?
If l own or rent my house, in residential care or sheltered housing?
How many cars and vans are available for use in my household?
Do l drive?
Do l have private medical care?
How many holidays have l taken abroad? How many were to sunny places?
How am l managing for money?
I thought they wanted to know my medical history, not my life story!
Have you ever filled in one of these questionnaires? Would you, if you received one?
