Invitation to participate in a Research Survey
Submitted 11/03/2026 by Varsha Warrier
Dear AABA members,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am reaching out to you on behalf of myself and my research collaborator Dr Marta San-Millán.
We, Varsha Warrier (Lecturer in Forensic Science, University of Derby) and Marta San-Millán (Lecturer in Human Anatomy and embryology, University of Girona) are currently conducting a research study titled “The Forgotten Joint? : Practitioner Perceptions, Challenges, and Barriers to the Adoption of the Acetabulum for Age Estimation,” which aims to collate practitioner perspectives, and experiences with the application of the acetabulum for age estimation, to better understand its limited use and the challenges to its wider adoption.
We believe your insights would be extremely valuable to this research. Participation would be entirely voluntary, and all responses will be collected anonymously. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Ethical approval for this study has been obtained from The University of Derby (ETH2526-0212) and The University of Girona (CEBRU0093-25), and the research complies with relevant data protection regulations.
We would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to engage with this survey: https://derby.questionpro.eu/t/AB3vBFtZB3wXTe
We would also be very happy to share a summary of the study findings with you once the research is complete.
Thank you very much for considering this request. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information to arrive at a decision.
