Dear Colleagues We are trying to recruit a research worker(s) for a study on blood donation by British Indians in UK. This research will aim at investigating reasons for low rates of blood donation by British Indians and then design interventions to improve uptake of blood donation from this community. The project will be based in West London and entails an initial ethnographic field work to determine the obstacles, followed by tailor made IEC (Intervention, Education, Communication) intervention to improve uptake. The period of the research is 2 years. We are looking for a person with social science & health background (masters or post-doc) who is fluent in Hindi, Gujarati, and Punjabi. Please could you let us know if you have any suggestion on disseminating this information for ourselves? Are there any web sites or newsletters you might know about?
