Excited
Sophia Yen MD MPH (Adolescent Medicine at LPCH at Stanford) is doing a study called Tampons Or Pads (TOP study) to study why women choose which product and health issues related to that. It should take only 5-10 minutes of your time and will help women’s health.
This survey is for research purposes and is being done over a secure server and the answers you submit will be STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Here is the link to the survey.

Also, if you have any questions/concerns about this survey, please email Dr. Sophia Yen at [email protected]
Dr. Yen’s study on how why women choose tampons versus pads is based on her personal experience as an Asian American, and is specifically looking for Asian-American females. I myself am obviously NOT an expert on, uhm, feminine issues, but I’m more than happy to oblige with helping someone out with their survey. Now if you excuse me, I have to go read a BMX magazine or something.

i just went through the survey. but there's no mention of Instead Softcup! (www.softcup.com). aiya! what a shocking omission. but i think it's an interesting & Very Worthy study.
still, i was surprised that the survey asks only about whether or not the mother figure worked in the medical field, and doesn't ask about a father at all and whether or not he worked in the medical field---study seems to assume a father's role is always irrelevant. even in situations where the father never discusses menstruation with his daughter, i could still see how his line of work could have a strong impact; conversely, i could also see how a mother working in the medical field would not necessarily be relevant to the daughter 's comfort or lack thereof using sanitary products (which is certainly true in my case-my mother worked in medical field, and still does, but we never discussed that topic), but the line of questioning might insinuate a connection where there is none.
i was also intrigued by one of the possible answers to question #25, in reference to how the survey filler-outer first learned how to use a tampon:
25. How did they teach you?( Check all that apply)
Talked me through it
Diagram/picture/drawing
Showed me
Put it in for me
Other (Please Specify)
"Put it in for me"? wow. that is some hands-on instruction. although of course i realize there could be certain circumstances that would call for that kind of guidance.

Ernie, I didn't know you knew Sophia? Or did Sophia just contact you because of 8Asians.com? I think she knows I blog for 8Asians.com.

Thanks so much, Ernie! Great clip art!
If anyone has any questions about birth control, acne, hepatitis B, atopic dermatitis, would be happy to help answer those.. perhaps be a guest blogger...
Thanks ladies for your help with this important research!
