Health Online: Exploring engagement with online resources for diabetes and common mental health issues

Information about the study (Plain Language Statement)

My name is Gillian Fergie and I am a PhD student from the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit and the University of Glasgow.

I would like to invite you to take part in a research study. The information on this sheet gives you some details about why the research is being done and what it will involve. If you are interested in taking part, please read through the information and feel free to discuss it with others if you wish. If there is anything that is not clear or if you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact me (see contact details below).

What is the research about?

This research study aims to develop an understanding of what young adults, aged between 18 and 30, who have personal experience of either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes or an issue such as depression, anxiety, stress or low mood think about health information on the internet and what experiences people have had exploring these issues online.

Who can take part?

If you are between 18 and 30, and have experience of either diabetes or a common mental health issue, we would really like to hear what you think and your experiences of accessing online resources. Taking part is entirely voluntary, it is your decision. Young adults across Scotland (and indeed the UK are invited to take part) and the time and place for interview can be arranged at your convenience (I am happy to come to you).

Much more information about this study can be found on our Research page actionondepression.org/news... on the main Action on Depression Website.
