Research Participants Wanted
Hi! I'm a PhD student at the University of Canterbury and I'm looking for couples to participate in a confidential study on health and wellbeing in relationships. Each member of the couple will be asked to complete an online survey (15-20 minutes). There will be questions about your relationship, your eating behaviour and your attitudes towards food, and the sort of person you are. Couples must be over 18, live together, and be fluent in English. Each person who completes the survey will receive a $10 supermarket voucher, which we will post out to you (you will need a NZ postal address for this).
If you are interested or have any questions, please email coupleswellbeingstudy@gmail.com for some more detailed information and a link to the study.

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)
