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.  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

http://canterbury.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0MnzXkqN9vRw7GZ.

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. See attached information sheets
