Thanks to the leadership of Assembly Member Nora Campos (San Jose), the California Assembly on May 7, 2012 unanimously co-authored and passed ACR 102, a resolution proclaiming May as Lupus Awareness Month in California. The resolution also commended the Lupus Foundation of Northern California, Lupus LA and Lupus Foundation of Southern California for their work on behalf of people with lupus and their families, and for advocating for more lupus research.

LUPUS PATIENTS WANTED FOR DEVICE PREFERENCE STUDY-Earn $100-$200
Interface Analysis Associates is a Bay Area a consumer research firm, located at the border of Saratoga and San Jose, that conducts studies of medical devices and drug delivery systems in order to make them safer and easier to learn and use. We have been in business for 20 years and help improve patient safety by involving actual patients in the study of new products, before they enter the market!
Our studies involve exposing patients to new devices, concepts and prototypes and observing how easy they are to learn and use, and obtaining feedback and preferences. Your participation allows you to directly influence the design of the device, procedure, instructions and labeling. These studies are typically brief, the products are unique and intriguing to work with, and you will be well paid, in cash, for your time and feedback. Note that all of our studies are "non-invasive", which means that you are never asked to take any medication or inject anything into your body. Everything is simulated or performed into a skin pad.
Currently, we have several upcoming studies involving products for Lupus patients, paying from $100-$200 for 60-120 minutes. Please contact us at (408) 834-8443 or iaa_research@yahoo.com to participate.
(When calling or sending email, please mention that you were referred by the Lupus Foundation of Northern California)
