This study is longitudinal – you will be invited to complete an online survey three times over six months. This is to help us understand the impact of any changes over the time period.

The first survey can be completed immediately after the parent/guardian consent form has been signed. The second survey link will be sent after three months, and the final survey link will be sent after six months. You will receive email reminders for each survey.

Pilot study – Completed

We recently invited a number of young people to participant in a small pilot study. They kindly gave us helpful feedback and contributed to the current study design!
