Dissertation

Dear Student,
My name is Caitlin Dillon, a third year Psychology in Education student, and I am inviting you to participate in my dissertation research project.
The purpose of this research project is to find out the extent to which students experience depression, low mood or anxiety, and the factors students perceive as related to their symptoms. The study has also been designed to explore the extent to which students are aware of the support services available to them at the university (and whether they access them). This questionnaire should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.
Your participation in this research is voluntary - you may choose not to participate now and have a right to withdraw at any time throughout the questionnaire by closing the tab or window. If you are mid-way through the questionnaire your data will not be stored or used. Once you complete the questionnaire and your responses have been submitted it will not be possible to withdraw your information at a later date as there is no way to identify which data is yours. Your data from this questionnaire is anonymous. It will be saved confidentially in a password-protected electronic format for a maximum of 1 year, after which it will be destroyed.
This research has been approved by the Department of Education, University of York Ethics Committee. If you have any complaints or questions about this research project please contact Caitlin Dillon ([email protected]) or Chair of the Ethics Committee ([email protected]).
Many thanks for participatiing in this research!
