Cambridge Mind-App (CaM-App) study
Researchers at the University of Cambridge are interested in understanding how digital technology use and other everyday behaviours affect mental health, loneliness and well-being during COVID-19 and across different countries.
To participate, you will be asked to download a unique study app which will help track your mental health by asking you to answer some questions on your mood once a day. The app will then relate your mental health to everyday behaviours, such as how much you use certain apps or how regularly you are physically active.
This study does not require you to have your phone with you or switched on at all times. The app collects as little data as possible and the data that are collected are anonymised and secured by a specialist data team. The app does not store things like passwords, GPS coordinates, typed text, photos/videos, amongst other things.
You will be compensated for taking part in the form of Amazon vouchers with a possible total payment of £24.
