Reading through your blog tonight, I was hoping I could receive some help from you and your readers on some basic research for my class at California State University Long Beach. Any person who has visited another individual in the hospital within the last two years can participate in my survey, and it only takes ten minutes. I would like to hear the voice of the visitors in the hospitalization experience.
Thank you for your help; it is greatly appreciated.
