Every now and again we have research that seeks to explore the views of members of the public. These studies are generally mental health related and open to everyone. We value those who volunteer their time and opinions to complete questionnaires, without whom a lot of research and progression would not be possible. Please see below for the latest opportunities to participate.
Has COVID-19 impacted on your psychological well-being?
Researchers from a collaboration group would like to invite you to take part in a short questionnaire exploring the psychological impact of the coronavirus, its effect on our emotions, behaviour and wellbeing.
The aim of this survey is to better understand how the coronavirus and the impact the current lockdown is having on our day to day lifestyle. We hope to find out what is helpful for people during this time and also what may be causing some people to be affected more than others in terms of their wellbeing.
Anyone over the age of 16 with access to be able to complete this online questionnaire can take part.
It is up to you to decide whether to take part or not. You are free to withdraw from the study at any time, without giving a reason and without consequence. This survey is completely voluntary and you can stop completing it at any time. You also do not have to answer any questions you don’t want to, you can just skip them.

Take part in our new research survey on dementia and technology
Following on from our Technology Integrated Health Management for dementia (TIHM) project, we’re asking people to take part in a survey to gather views on the use of assistive technology and medical devices in the management of dementia. We’d like to hear from anyone over the age of 18, regardless of your experience or knowledge of dementia or assistive technologies.
The use of assistive technology and medical devices for dementia is increasing so we want to hear from a wide variety of people to ensure future assistive technology projects are inclusive and easily accessible to all.
The survey results will help us to:
- Understand if there are any extra steps we need to take when introducing a project or new technologies to people
- Understand how best to present new assistive technologies to people and if we need to employ different approaches for different people
- Roll out new technologies to a wider range of people with different experiences and perspectives.
The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete. Click here to complete it.
