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 and I am looking for participants for my research. 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. Click here for 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. If anyone does not have access to a computer would like to talk to me about it my phone number is 027 424 6046.  Attached is a flyer as well - Thank you.
