Birthday celebrations for SA Cohort!

You filled in the questionnaires and took part in the focus group discussions.
You have updated your contact details and answered questions about your job.
Now is the time to find out what it all means!

In June/July 2009, the CREHS Cohort in South Africa will be 1 year old. To celebrate, we are inviting all cohort members to come and listen to the presentation of the first research findings and enjoy some snacks and drinks with us and your fellow cohort members.

This will be a great opportunity to see what has become of all the information you provided and to reconnect with fellow cohort members. Please share this information with as many cohort members as possible, especially those who don’t have internet access. It would be great to see as many of you as possible!

Each feedback session will include:
** Presentation and discussion of the research findings;
** Completing a very short questionnaire and quick verification of contact details;
** Snacks and drinks to celebrate the fact that we have come this far.
