Youth health connections – JournHey? app deployment and testing
Dr Andrew James Williams, Dorothy Currie, Kenneth Boyd, Lynsey Brown, Elliot Cruickshank, Zoltan Kiss, Dr Tim Storer and Tess Vaughan
The JournHey? app is part of a research project led by Dr Andrew James Williams at the University of Edinburgh. The app is for people aged 8-18 years of age. The information you provide in the app will be used for health research. Helping us to understand and improve the influences on your health.
The attached sheets are to help you decide if you want to take part in our project.
You can speak to your parent(s) or guardian before you decide if you want to take part.
JournHey? is an app for children and young people about health. Using the app will help you, and researchers, find out what helps or stops children and young people from being healthy where they live. The app is focused on your diet, physical activity, sleep and wellbeing.
In the app you will be able to chat with other app users about the influences on your health. When you find other young people experiencing the same influence you will then get the chance to create a petition asking for changes to be made.
As a new app we are also keen to hear what you think about it. So, we will be sending users a feedback survey, to help us modify and improve the app.
