Keep in Touch (KIT) Study_2

Hello, thanks for your interest in this research.

In this study, we are trialling an online self-administered psychosensory technique called Havening to see if it helps people to deal with distress and worry. We think that this research is really important at this time when COVID-19 is causing anxiety for so many people. We will ask you to use short videos of Havening practitioners to guide you as you self-administer the Havening technique. This will involve a variety of activities including stroking your own arms and hands, whilst performing self-affirming and anxiety reducing tasks. The videos can be used as little or as often and wherever you choose.

You will be asked to complete short online questionnaires about your mood, mental health and wellbeing.

To take part in this research, you need to be over 18 years old. We especially would like to encourage key workers to take part.

Please note that after you complete each part of the study, you will be redirected back to this GATEWAY page, where you will be able to choose further options.

You can also log on to this GATEWAY page at any time to follow the links through to parts 2 and 3.
