Hi everyone,

Just sharing an opportunity to participate in some exciting research relating to user features within mental health forums. More details from the researchers below! Please note: this research is not related to the current SANE Forums co-design that is happening.

____________________________________________________

Thank you very much for your interest in participating in our study.

We are looking for people with experience in using forums that focus on mental health and well-being who may or may not themselves experience mental health issues to take part in one face-to-face focus group at Melbourne University, lasting approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, including a tea break. The aim of this study is to learn from forum users about how user features within mental health forums could be improved. 

The project, headed by Prof. Nicola Reavley (Melbourne School of Population Global Health, MDHS), is funded by the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics at the University of Melbourne. Please contact Dr. Mel Mistica (misticam@unimelb.edu.au) if you would like to have access to the Plain Language Statement and Participant Consent Form (Ethics Number: 2022-25096-35394-4).

As a reimbursement for your time, you will be offered a $100.00 gift voucher.

Please feel free to contact Mel above if you have any questions regarding this study.
