Females between 18 and 26 years needed for important Health Psychology Research

shinnybob

Hi,

I am a MSc Health Psychology student of NUI Galway conducting research into "Understanding Acceptance of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine" in a female university population aged between 18 and 26 years of age from across the country. HPV causes 80% of cervical cancers and genital warts so understanding the factors that influence vaccination against this preventable infection are very important from a health prevention and promotion perspective.

The study involves participation in an online questionnaire, a short web-based intervention and a second short online questionnaire. I am also interested in assessing attitudes at a one-month follow-up through a third and final online questionnaire.

If you are a female university student between the ages of 18 and 26 interested in advancing psychological theories and research, I would be very grateful if you would participate in this very important study.

In order to track participants throughout the different stages of the study I request that you provide an e-mail address at the beginning of every questionnaire. This is also for the purpose of the one month follow-up, after which time the e-mail address will not be retained but your data will be assigned a unique i.d number. All information will be kept confidential and e-mail addresses will not be matched with responses.

If having read the above information thoroughly and you are happy to proceed, the link for the study is:

I have run the above by the moderator and they are happy for me to proceed with uploading the post.

Many thanks,

Shinnybob
