PhD Research

I am currently looking for people who experience anxiety, with or without chronic pain to take part in a study which involves using an anxiety-focused app, ‘Here’, in their daily lives. 

The study is made up of four parts:

1. Complete a 10 minute questionnaire asking about views on anxiety-focused apps and experience of anxiety and pain
2. Use ‘Here’ for four weeks as and when needed – there is no minimum level of engagement needed—the app will track usage data
3. Complete another 10 minute questionnaire asking about views on anxiety-focused apps, reflecting on the time spend using ‘Here’, and experience of anxiety and pain
4. Take part in a 30 minute interview which asks more detailed questions about experience of using ‘Here’

There are a set of eligibility criteria that potential participants must meet in order to take part in this study:

• Aged 18+
• Currently living in the UK
• Experience anxiety
• Own an iPhone
• Not receiving any treatment, or stable on any treatments (current treatment has lasted 3+ months) 
• Not anticipating any treatment, or changes to any treatments, for the duration of the study (the next 4 weeks) 
• Not classed as vulnerable - specifically not aged 65+, or have learning disabilities, or have cognitive impairments 

If you meet the criteria I would be hugely grateful if you would take part.
