You are invited to complete the anonymous 'Measures that Matter' survey, part of the STOP FRACTURE! study; a study designed to create pathways in our health care system to effective exercise therapy for osteoporosis.

We want to know what things are most important to people living with low bone mass (osteopenia and osteoporosis) so we can measure those things before and after exercise therapy.

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and can be accessed by clicking on the link below.

If you would prefer not to complete the survey online, you are welcome to contact the study team via phone (07) 5552 9659 or email stopfracture@griffith.edu.au to discuss other ways you can take part.

We thank you for your help with this important step on the path to stopping osteoporotic fractures.

Just days away from launching our 'Measures that Matter' survey (developed with patient input) as step 1 of our STOP FRACTURE! study. We want to know what outcomes matter to people living with osteoporosis before we start measuring them. Watch this space for the link
