Dear Member,

I am sorry if this message is not relevant or of interest to you, however, I am a 3rd year psychology student, currently working towards my dissertation and was wondering if, as a member of this forum, you’d be able to help me by filling in a questionnaire. The study has been fully approved by the university’s ethics committee, which means it has been assessed as being suitable to use for collecting information from people.

The study is about how people with anxiety disorders use the Internet to find information about their anxiety and to find social support from others. The study involves answering a few questions about these topics and about your positive and negative experiences. If you would like more information about the study, please click the link below where you can read more and if you wish, go on to complete the questionnaire.

To take part in the study you should be
A) a British citizen
B) over the age of 18

Thank you very much for your time, and I hope you find the questionnaire enjoyable!

If you wish to contact me you can email me on sophie4.gray@uwe.ac.uk or my superviser on debra.gray@uwe.ac.uk

Oh no :mad:

How very very annoying!

I really would like to get as many results as possible so if you wouldn't mind filling in the survey again, could you PM me with an email address and I can send you a word file copy of it!

I will have to get my technical engineer to see what is going on with it! :lac:

So glad it worked!

If anyone does want to take part it may be useful to copy and paste your answers onto a word document, so if it does crash (fingers crossed its fixed now) you won't have to type it all out again!
