Dear all,
Are you or have you been in a situation recently where you searched for information to make a decision in regard to your ketogenic diet? Participate in our research!
We are conducting research on ketogenic dieters’ information needs. So, if you have been in one or more situations where you had to look for information to make decisions about your health relating to the ketogenic diet, we would like to speak with you.
We ask you to think about this before the interview:
One or more recent or memorable situations when you needed to look for information to make decisions about the ketogenic diet.
You can choose to describe any situation when you needed information to make decisions about your ketogenic diet (e.g. starting the diet, determining macros, excluding certain foods, modifying your diet or maintaining the diet). Examples of information sources are Google search, Reddit, Social Media, Podcasts, Books, Documentaries, and relatives, friends or other social contact. We would like to ask you to avoid issues that you might find upsetting to discuss, or anything illegal.
About the study:
Format: One 45-minute interview to talk about one or more memorable situations when you needed information to make decisions about the ketogenic diet, with the option to demonstrate how you look for information relating to the ketogenic diet if you currently are in this situation (e.g. the Web, Social media, Online forums, Websites).
Location: Skype (we will schedule a time which is suitable for you) OR City, University of London.
Dates: 18th July to 29th August
Incentive: 1 Year Plus Membership at Dietdoctor.com (worth £108)
Interviews will be recorded, and screenshots might be taken of your use of digital information environments for data analysis purposes, although these will be kept anonymous and confidential.
