Wanted to resend this at the beginning of the week (thanks to the many who have already forwarded it to their students):

Greetings HEDIRites:

I am asking for your help in a study that I am conducting. I am assessing students' attitudes toward the use of Social Network systems (i.e., MySpace/Facebook). This is an exploratory study and thus I just need a group of students to complete this survey. If you are teaching any undergraduate or graduate level courses, would you please ask your students to consider completing the survey?

This survey is on-line at www.hedir.org/myspace It is completely anonymous and will take about 5-10 minutes.

I thank you for your help.

The information below my name/information can be copied and given to your students.

Dear HEDirians:

I am interested in seeing how many of you teach a course dedicated to Men's Health or Issues as they relate to Men's (boys) health. Also, if you do facilitate a course of this nature, would you mind sharing what textbooks and/or references you use as course readings? I appreciate all and any help on this.

Best,
