Would you like to contribute to research about the barriers to mental health services accessibility?

Professor Bob Knight at the University of Southern Queensland and Psychology Honours student Kay Mattingley are inviting persons 18 years of age and older living in Australia to participate in a survey about accessibility of mental health services for older adults.

It is NOT necessary to have used mental health services or to think that you might use them in the future to participate, we are simply interested in community views.

It is hoped that results can be used to draw attention to barriers to access to psychological services for older adults and to eventually make services more available to those who need and want them. Human Research Ethics Approval – No: H17REA059 (v2).

Participants are asked to fill out several questionnaires on-line, which is expected to take about 30 to 40 minutes. Responses are anonymous. To participate go to https://surveys.usq.edu.au/index.php/447255?lang=en.

If you prefer to have a hard copy of the questionnaires to complete, please contact Professor Knight at, bob.knight@usq.edu.au or 07 4631 1480 and leave your address. Hard copies can be returned anonymously.

Professor Knight would be happy to talk with you more about the study. He can be reached at bob.knight@usq.edu.au or 07 4631 1480.
