Researcher_UofA 8 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 Dear Participant, This is a study about healthy gaming and prevention of gaming-related harms. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PCYWDNG You are invited to participate in a study that aims primarily to investigate regular Australian gamers’ perspectives on strategies for reducing harmful gaming. This research is aimed to inform scientific and policy discussions on prevention strategies of gaming harm. Who can participate? You are invited to participate if you are 18+ years old, Australian resident, speak English, and are a regular gamer. What will I be asked to do? The survey will cover your basic background, your gaming and game preferences, and your beliefs about personal control in life. It will then obtain your views on various harm reduction strategies for gaming behaviour. How much time will the project take? The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. YOU WILL ENTER A DRAW TO WIN A $50 VOUCHER AFTER COMPLETING THE SURVEY What will happen to my information? The survey is anonymous. Only the researchers will have access to the data and no identifying information will be present in the findings or in any subsequent publications. Thank you very much for your help on this project. Sincerely, Cainan Rodrigues Roncati and Dr Daniel King 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brodie0296 78 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 Good to see that there is study out there that doesn't revolve around the traditional just ban video games ideology, should defiantly be mentioned in schools to the young ones. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, if you could invite as many people as possible to do the survey, that would help tremendously for now. I will also post a summary of the results and our interpretation in here at around October. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
