Follow up letters

I have written a follow up / thank you letter that I am sending to all of the participants, along with their informed consent. After I had the participant sign the form during the research study I wished I had brought two copies, now I am glad that I didn't. It gives me a real excuse to send a formal thank you letter.

Post Study

I have completed my work with all of the participant and have transferred all of the video to digital format. The next step is to analyze this data.
