Who is doing and funding this research?
One of the funders behind In Hand, Comic Relief, have asked researchers from MindTech at the University of Nottingham, to find out about how people are using it and whether it is helping with their mental health and wellbeing.
What will I have to do?
We need volunteers to help by telling us about how you have used In Hand and whether this was helpful to you. Most of the questions will involve making a choice from a set of options, while some questions ask you to write a short answer. The questionnaire should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. At the end you can enter the prize draw.
Do I have to take part?
Taking part in this research is entirely voluntary. When you click the Finished! button at the end of the questions, this is taken as your agreement to take part in the research and your permission for us to use the information you have provided. We'll remind you of this at the end.

Can anyone take part?
If you are aged 16 and over. We're sorry that research regulations mean we can't take responses from people aged under 16 years. You can contact the In Hand team directly to give them your feedback here
Will my information be kept confidential?
All information which you provide for the research will be kept strictly confidential. However, you can withdraw at any time without having to provide a reason. If you decide to withdraw after submitting your questionnaire, the information collected so far cannot be erased and this information may still be used in the project analysis.
Apart from this survey, can I give feedback in other ways?
Yes! You could talk to a research team member about your experiences (over the phone, via Skype or even face to face is you prefer) or make a video diary about using In Hand and send it to us. If you are interested in either of these (or both!) contact the research team via Lucy Simons on [email protected] or 0115 823 0431. She'll send you more information.
