Hi everyone,
Iยm a long-time climber and currently a medical student at the University of Vermont, USA. Iยm working on a project examining the causes and consequences of chronic injuries in sport climbers and boulderers, and I'm asking for less than five minutes of your time to help out!
While there is good data in the medical literature about acute injuries in climbers, there is very little out there on chronic injuries. This is a gap I'm trying to fill. So, if youยre 18 or older, have spent at least half of your time sport climbing or bouldering, have an injury thatยs at least a year old, and have five minutes, Iยd really appreciate it if you could take my survey, accessible here:
http://edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/426074/Injuries-in-Rock-Climbing-Survey
Itยs only ~15 questions long, and, having once been an active member of 8a.nu, I know there are people in this community who must be nursing some long-standing injuries.
Iยm also happy to answer any questions at [email protected] .

Someone's helpfully pointed out that this isn't opening correctly on the 8a site. I tried it, and what do you know? It's not. I can't figure out how to get it to work on this site, but if you copy/paste the survey link into your browser, it'll open in its own window, and it'll work correctly. Thanks for the heads up! (400 responses and counting... keep 'em coming.) Alex
