Hoarding Research - Volunteers Needed

There was a post on a group discussion board on FaceBook. They’re asking for volunteers – and it looks relatively harmless, if you’re interested:
(Note: You do not have to be a Hoarder/Clutterer to participate.)

I took the survey, and it wasn’t painful. It took about 5 minutes, and they didn’t ask for *any* personal information.

This questionnaire is for a Sheffield University (U.K.) research study, looking at beliefs about relationships and hoarding behaviors.

If you want to contribute to this study, the survey is at:

…and their website is here:

Hello,

I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at Sheffield University, UK. My colleagues and I are interested in compulsive hoarding and are looking for volunteers to take part in an on-line questionnaire about relationships and hoarding behaviours. The questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. We are looking for volunteers both with and without hoarding behaviours.

Our website www.compulsivehoarding.net contains some information on our research project and a link to the online questionnaire in addition to some links to sources of support and information for people affected by hoarding.

This research has received ethical approval from the departmental research ethics committee and has university sponsorship / governance in place.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of our research or would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me on research@compulsivehoarding.net


Your help will be really appreciated!

Yours sincerely

Emma Bodfield
Trainee Clinical Psychologist
The University of Sheffield, UK.
