Chronic pain is often an invisible and vastly misunderstood condition, and we’re hoping to change that. We are students of Arielle Hodges in her Health Communication course, and our main goal is to create a health campaign that increases awareness of the topic of chronic pain and reduces the stigma associated with it. To accomplish this goal, we need your help!
We would greatly appreciate your participation by filling out this quick five-minute online survey regarding your understanding of, experiences with, and strategies for approaching chronic pain.
Through these surveys, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the perceptions that George Fox students have regarding chronic pain.
Thank you for your participation! If you have any questions, concerns or further feedback, please feel free to reach out to Jazmyn Legg at jlegg25@georgefox.edu, Jordyn Brown at brownj23@georgefox.edu, or professor Hodges at ahodges@georgefox.edu.

Professor Arielle Hodges’s Health Communication class has been separated into three groups to create and send out surveys based on different issues. Our group has created a survey, titled “Experiences with Social Connection and the Be Known Promise at Fox.”
Our survey aims to gather data from students on whether or not they believe the Be Known promise is being fulfilled, and how it influences undergraduate students’ stress levels. Participation involves filling out this 10-minute online survey regarding your social habits, sense of belonging at George Fox, and your experience with stress and coping.
We would appreciate your feedback! If you have any questions, reach out to Dante Cicolani at dcicolani24@georgefox.edu. Thank you!
