Awanui Labs is working together with the University of Otago to investigate the rising trend in vitamin D testing across various medical laboratories in New Zealand and propose effective strategies to manage this increased demand.

If you participate, what will you be asked to do?

If you decide to participate we’d appreciate you completing a 10-minute online survey. At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you wish to be part of focus groups who will meet online to consider questions generated by the survey.

What specimens, data or information will be collected, and how will they be used?

All data collected is anonymous, including focus group conversations. The data will be stored Awanui Laboratories servers which are confidential and only able to be accessed by the study investigators.
