The iBelong Study – Evaluating text message support for the social wellbeing of young adults

The iBelong study evaluates the use of text messaging to deliver support for social wellbeing to young adults.

When you take part, you will be provided with strategies for improving your social wellbeing via text message. You will also complete two online surveys. Participation is completely virtual and requires approximately 30 minutes of your time in total over two weeks.

Each study participant will go in the draw to win 1 of 4 GiftPay gift cards.
