Confidential Survey 2007 for adults and children with ITP

This being the first survey carried out by the Association, it was hoped to identify the following:-

• To what extent does ITP actually affect every day life
• To what extent does ITP cause anxiety about every day life or activities
• In the current PC climate, does bruising give rise to suspicion of violence
• Is reliable help readily available, if so from where
• To provide help in the determination of questions or issues to include in subsequent surveys

The results presented here should be considered as an interim version, further analysis will follow together with conclusions and recommendations for further action. NB. The data is being checked and edited to correct fine detail, the version here is known to contain small errors (1% or less) so you should not save any results until this notice is removed,

Notes
To avoid having to interpret textual answers or to assign numerical values or judgements to their answers, respondents were asked to circle Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often or Always. This approach may not yield specific data on duration or severity but should even out some of the expected variation in perception, it being assumed that some will be quite numerate, some not.

As far as possible, questions were asked to allow straight forward analysis, so little scope was allowed in answers. To allow for us having missed a topic, a class of answer such as "other" was included, more to inform the design of subsequent surveys than to include in this one.

The survey was designed for easy data input into a spreadsheet, there being no specific data analysis software available.
