Informational Needs Survey

Over the past few months, we have only been able to answer a small percentage of the hundreds of questions that have been submitted. As a result, we are currently compiling responses to general questions for posting on the CereBel Lupus Resource Center Website.

Many visitors have asked if medical consultation services are available over the Internet. In order to respond to these requests and determine if the need for such a service justifies the expense of creating it, we would like to ask your input. Please take a few minues to answer these questions. In return, we will inform you when new Lupus-related information is posted to this Website. Thank you for your participation.
