clement Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 "The completion of the questionnaire is compulsory and a condition of participation." Mmmm, I do not remember that being a condition of participation, lets see what happens if I refuse to complete the questionnaire.
walkerr Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Pity that mail didn't get through to me - promise... Well mine did actually get caught in a Virus scanner ... so I guess maybe yours did too ....
Spoke101 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It looks to me like a very old questionnaire (Edit: for the university of Pretoria Institute for Sport, Exercise Medicine and Lifestyle ResearchFaculty of Health Sciences) that has been badly edited to for fill a purpose, and was developed by Developed by Paul Kilfoil, Software Development & IT Consulting : www.PaulKilfoil.co.za
Showtime Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I didn't even check for the secure connection and started the form. It bombed out halfway but otherwise it would take about 2 hours to complete because it seems to be hosted on nokia 1610 running a gprs connection. Every page load takes a minute.
KidCharlemagne Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Looks and smells like a marketing exercise. The compulsory bit is a step too far though.
shaper Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 You complete a medical questionnaire when you do the initial entry. Further there was no mention of anything else required after registration to race the CTCT and definitely no opt in/opt out of such to make it compulsory. If it is compulsory am sure most will put false answers or just no irrespective of the questions... so how much are mediclinic going to go by the answers in any studies? Or CTCT now selling this medical information to mediclinic... and who else?
Showtime Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 They mailed to say the website is fixed, was able to complete it quickly now. I'm not a doctor but most of the questions seem relevant to treating you in the event of an incident so I don't have a problem with it. I don't mind if they use it for research either so I checked that box as well.
Spoke101 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I have spoken to the race office and they assure me it is legit and that it is compulsory. I told them that it is a terrible site and that it is obviously been changed (badly) from a questionnaire that was used for the University of Pretoria.They assured me that the information will only be used by Med-Clinic and no 3rd parties.I also raised the non-existent security and was told that they would look in to it. I told them I was not filling out anything until they up there game and I see https.
Bat Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Just deleted mine. Also thought it was spam, or to be used as marketing spam afterword's. Like been said. Lets see what happens if we don't complete this?
Spoke101 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I was also told the we all ticked some box that means we agreed to this. I don't remember anything along these lines.
#Pete# Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Looks dodgy to me - no clue what data will be used for and why?Could even be someone's reseach project - if so needfs to state that and enrollment should be voluntary.No way I'm filling it in, and I asked lots of Q...waiting for reply.

I told them I was not filling out anything until they up there game and I see https. I do not think I've entered the CTCT so that Medi-Clinic can data harvest my confidential medical information. The way this is forced as a condition of participation months after my entry is not acceptable and out of principle I refuse to provide any info.
Naas Vermaak Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I'm not gonna do it...they're lying in that they need it to better prepare for race casualties....after all these years....and then ask more than 12 questions abt cramping! Cheap way for market research. First take my money and now it's compulsory...bull****! I say don't do it!!
milky4130 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 So Because they forcing it on us let's screw up their market research, read the question & think about the actual real answer then enter the total opposite.
Naas Vermaak Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I apologize...but Admin changed my "bulkak" to bull****
