This morning I received a request to take part in the Covid-19 in-home antibody testing research study being conducted by Imperial College in London in association with The NHS and run by Ipsos Mori
Apparently it relies on a random sample of the population to gauge how many people have been infected with Covid. It is using a finger prick test and gives a result within 10 to 15 minutes.
I'm quite happy to 'do my bit' for this study so followed the instructions to take part by going to the relevant web site and entering an access code included in the letter,
Well, the first question was fine and I confirmed my name, but on the second page it asked me to confirm my year and month of birth - just a 'Yes or No' box to click on. Simple you'd think, but there was no data displayed to confirm! I've tried it using Firefox, Edge and Internet Explorer and all show the same lack of data.
So I was wondering whether anybody else has received this invitation and found their month and year of birth displayed? If I'm not the only one then I reckon a lot of people won't bother which would clearly affect the results of the survey and age is an important factor in this type of study.
I sent a message to Ipsos Mori using a link they gave to let them know.
