Some help identifying the best Pictograms for young people with stomach problems
Hi, Thanks you for those who have shown interest in this research. I am still wanting young people aged 5-18 to help me with getting these pictograms right. The pictograms (images) will be used by children and young people to help them describe the symptoms they experience. To understand if the pictograms are understandable and helpful for young people, we want to canvas a range of young people for their thoughts.
Participation consists of completing an online survey. It can be completed on a mobile device or laptop. If you or someone you know would like to participate, you can use this link auckland.au1.qualtrics.com... or email BSGM@auckland.ac.nz for more information.
It will take around 15-20 minutes to complete. All those that complete can opt into entering a draw for one of three $100 Westfield Vouchers.
The research has been approved by the NZ Health and Disability Ethics Committee 2022 Full 12705
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
