My name is Courtney Thomson and I am conducting my Honours project through the School of Psychology and Counselling at Queensland University of Technology. The aim of the project is to understand how parents make decisions for their children about the following health behaviours: physical activity, healthy eating and sun safety. The project has been approved by the university’s Human Research Ethics Committee.
Your participation will involve completing an online questionnaire, which will take approximately 15-20 minutes. The study also involves a short follow up survey one week following your submission of the online questionnaire. The follow up survey will be conducted over the phone and will take approximately 5 minutes. If you consent to participate in the follow up questionnaire, please leave a contact number in the final section of the online questionnaire.
There are certain criteria for participating in the study. To be eligible to partake in the study you must be:
- 17 years or older
- the parent or guardian of a child/children aged 4 or 5 years old
- a resident of Australia.
