Our research is investigating the impacts of mobile phone use, cognition, physical activity and sleep on young people’s mental health.

I understand that my participation is voluntary and that I’m free to withdraw, at any time without giving any reason, and without my medical care or legal rights being affected.
I understand that I may be contacted again in the future by the research team to provide further information about my health, lifestyle, biosamples, or use of mobile phones and other wireless technologies.
I understand that the SCAMP study will link my SCAMP assessment data (including, where applicable, information from biological samples) with routine data that I authorise access to, and any additional information I provide.
I consent to take part in the above study.
The Activity Tracker Study – We will post an activity tracker (i.e., a Fitbit) for you to wear for up to 60 days to collect information on your physical activity and sleep, and then you return it. You will need to download the Fitbit app wherein you will be asked to authorise the SCAMP team to access your Fitbit data via Fitabase (Small Steps Labs LLC) for the duration of this study. This authorisation will not require you to give an email address, password, or other personal information to the research staff. Research staff will use your de-identified Fitbit account information to access your data on Fitabase. Your data will be gathered and stored by both Fitbit Inc (Terms and Privacy Policy) and Small Steps Labs LLC (Terms and Privacy Policy). Please read these documents before you provide your consent.
I agree to take part in the above study.
The Bio-Zone Study – We will post a collection kit (‘Oragene’) with instructions and a pre-paid return envelope for you to provide your saliva sample and then send it back to us. The saliva sample you provide will be processed in laboratories to extract DNA and analyse differences in the DNA sequence, so we can look at genes which make some people more susceptible to disease.
I agree to take part in this study.
