The ADIPOSE study is an online survey that researchers at the University of Dundee are running. It aims to help researchers understand how aware people in Scotland are of fatty liver disease – including people with other health conditions and people with no other health conditions. This information will be important to help researchers assess the public’s understanding of liver disease and inform future liver research and public health strategies.
They need 1,200 people to complete the survey. As a thank you for taking part - participants can choose to be entered into a draw for one of several £100 high-street vouchers. The survey should take a maximum of fifteen minutes to complete, and can be completed on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone.
Participation is fully anonymous (meaning no data that can identify you will be kept) and of course, you don't have to take part if you don't want to.
What’s involved?

To be suitable you need to be age 18 or over and living in Scotland with access to the internet.
