Hello Bob,
> Participants in this research may be joining our community here. There may be as many as 230 of them, and they may or may not mention that they're in the study. I can't get into the nature of the study now,
Why not? Presumably the 230 or so participants know at least something about the study they are participating in. If Psychobabble is part of the study environment, then I think the members here should have more information. If you prefer not to broadcast the details of your study on the internet, can you make a synopsis available via e-mail upon request?
> research and that the research participants will be here for support and education, not to study the rest of you.
Can I take this to mean that the research participants are being encouraged to use online forums (or maybe just this one) as part of their treatment?
> I hope you'll be as excited by this opportunity to contribute to medical research as I am.
I think more information would help generate more enthusiasm.
