Investigating Health and Health Behaviours of Canadians #90

Title: Investigating Health and Health Behaviours of Canadians

Description: The aim of this research is to improve our understanding of how Canadians are currently using mobile technologies to assist in their self-management of health and wellness. This study will collect information including demographics, health history, self-reported mobile device use, and will ask respondents about their current physical and mental wellbeing. Such exploration will further our understanding of Canadians’ use of mobile health (mHealth) applications and other technology, and it is our hope that this will inform future development and improvement of these personal health management tools. Participants will complete an online survey with an expected duration of approximately 20 to 30 minutes. All responses are anonymous, unless a participant opts to provide their contact information for future research opportunities. All participants will be provided with a downloadable list of mental health resources.
