Exploring attitudes towards mental health in Aotearoa New Zealand
Category
Culture and Society
Description of research project
This research explores how spiritual or religious beliefs influence attitudes towards mental health difficulties in New Zealand. By participating, you will help us understand the factors that influence perceptions of mental health, and this will provide valuable insight into how we can continue to break down mental-health stigma and support those experiencing mental health difficulties in the community.
The research involves a 15-20 minute anonymous online survey. The survey will ask about your personal opinions and attitudes towards various mental health difficulties, as well as some questions about your spiritual or religious beliefs. After participating, you can choose to enter a prize draw to win 1 or 5 $100 gift vouchers.
