Every now and again I get people asking me to pass along information about studies that they are doing to further delve into the anatomy of anxiety. This week I was asked by a psychology student from Australia to pass along information about a study she is conducting researching childhood anxiety. As you’ll read below it takes about 35 minutes to complete. If you’re interested all the information is below.
My name is Kathryn O’Brien and I am currently studying my Honours in psychology at Swinburne University, Australia. As part of the degree I have to conduct a research study and write a thesis.
For my research I am investigating the relationship between parental mental health literacy, stigma, and help-seeking in parents.
Parental mental health literacy is broadly defined as parents’ knowledge of mental health information, specifically mental health information that relates to their children.
The study also seeks to explore parents’ beliefs about the treatment, recognition, and prevention of anxiety in children, and to identify what further resources parents would like to have access to.
Participation in this online study is open to any parent with a child aged 6-16 years old.
