PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ANSWERING

Thank you for participating in this study of young people’s experiences with the internet. Your answers are valuable to us.

Take your time to answer the questions; there are no right or wrong answers we would just like to get your opinion. It should take no longer than 20-25 minutes to complete.

All the questions require you to tick one or more boxes. If you do not want to answer a question, please tick the don’t want to answer box.

Whatever you answer in the questionnaire is completely confidential. You will remain anonymous throughout the study so it will not be possible to identify you through your responses. Towards the end of the questionnaire there are a number of personal questions. These are asked because the researchers are interested in comparing different groups of young people with different backgrounds. Please answer these questions honestly as they are very important for the research to be successful.

If you have any queries concerning this research or wish to find out more about the study, please contact Ellen Helsper at (44) 020-79556199 or at [email protected].
