Health Impacts of Fasting Study
Hello and Assalam Alekum
My name is Yusof Al-Wadei and I am doctoral student in the Public Health program at the University of Tennessee – Knoxville. I am working on a study that aims to conduct a comprehensive psychosocial health assessment to understand the impacts of fasting during Ramadan on individuals within Muslim communities across the United States.
We would like to invite you to participate in our research study that will look at the health impacts of long-term fasting such as fasting the month of Ramadan. We also ask that you share this with your congregation by forwarding this email or posting the attached flyer in your bulletin boards. Anything you can do to share this information within your community is greatly appreciated.
This study is completed online via the Internet. Participation is completely voluntary and involves taking a short survey before Ramadan and a follow-up survey at the end of the month. We encourage you to complete each survey in one sitting, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes, but you can start and come back at any time to finish.
This study will analyze the relationship between fasting and general health and wellness outcomes including psychosocial outcomes. This study is being conducted by a doctoral student in the Public Health Program at the University of Tennessee.
If you have any questions about the study, you can reach out to Yusof Al-Wadei at [email protected], or Dr. Thankam Sunil at [email protected]
