You can help improve the quality of mental health care

NARSAD, the Mental Health Research Association, is conducting a research project about Depression Online Communities, and your help is needed.

The purpose of this project is to better understand online communities for depression support and to explore participation preferences, the relevance of subjects discussed, possible constraints on participation, and the potential contributions.

Participation in this survey is anonymous and voluntary. No risks are anticipated, and the questions are not expected to cause any discomfort.

Volunteers will simply be asked to fill the survey and sincerely answer all (or most) questions. This should take 5-10 minutes of their time.

To review the survey, please visit:

The results of this study will be used for scientific purposes only.

They may be published in a scholarly report, a journal article and/or a conference presentation.

You are encouraged to participate. It is anonymous and will not take much of your time.

is this particular study for this site, or is it random?

I just did it. As far as I gathered it's about depression and on-line mental health sites in general.

yeah that's what I thought too
i'm going to go do it.

Hope they were expect some schizoids, should be easy to weed me out if they weren't, I entered it where I could.

Do we get to see the results sometime?

It is for NARSAD, big study and could help a lot of folks

What does NARSAD stand for, I can guess a few of the words.
I did it though.

National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression

Done. That didn't take me long at all.

I don't really understand whether I should be filling out the questionnaire. I do not visit this site for depression - the questions are all geared toward this ailment.
