New human-animal study - participants aged 18-25 years sought

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

We (Dr Roxanne Hawkins, Dr Charlotte Robinson, Prof. Jo Williams) are a team of researchers based within Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Edinburgh and we are conducting a new research study as part of a Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS) funded project into pets and mental health. We are recruiting people aged 18-25 years who live in the UK, who have a pet dog and/or cat, and are struggling with anxious feelings and/or low mood, for a research study on pets and the self-management of mental health difficulties. Participants do not need to have a mental health diagnosis to take part. The project involves an online interview (approx. 30-60 mins) with a researcher, and as a thank you, we can offer a £20 Amazon voucher. To find out more information, and to sign-up for the study, please follow this link: https://edinburgh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/the-human-animal-bond<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fedinburgh…> Best wishes Dr Roxanne Hawkins (she/her) Lecturer in Applied Psychology MSc in Applied Psychology for Children and Young People<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ed.ac…> University of Edinburgh Department of Clinical and Health Psychology School of Health in Social Science Elsie Inglis Quad, Teviot Place Edinburgh, EH8 9AG roxanne.hawkins(a)ed.ac.uk | Twitter<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.c…> | My Research<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.resea…> Have pets?
