Earthquake Insurance Reseach
Hello
My name is Jenny Brown and i'm a PhD student at the university of Canterbury. I'm conducting research into the effects ongoing earthquake insurance claims have on mental wellbeing. I would greatly appreciate it if you could inform people of my study so they can take part if they are interested. Anyone can take part, including those who haven't had ongoing claims. It involves a 25 minute anonymous survey, once completed participants can leave their email and go into the draw to win one of eight $50 westfield vouchers.
The link for the survey is here canterbury.qualtrics.com.... It is an anonymous link that takes participants to the start of the survey. I welcome everyone to take the survey even if they do not have an ongoing insurance claim.
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)
.
