If you are a parent with children aged 6-15 years, researchers at the University of Greenwich are recruiting participants for research examining experiences during the pandemic. We would be very grateful if you could please contribute in this.
Dear parent,
Our research team at the Institute for Lifecourse Development at the University of Greenwich are conducting a research project on the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and young people’s emotional wellbeing.
We want to capture children’s and young people’s views about what they know and believe about coronavirus. We also want to learn from parents about their experiences of the coronavirus situation. We hope that the findings of the study will interventions that aim to support children and their families and reduce stress arising from public health crises.
If you and your child choose to take part, you will be asked to complete some questionnaires online. Your child will also be asked to write or draw about their coronavirus views. You can visit the following link, if you are interested to take part or want to learn more about the study:
