You-COPE: Youth COVID-19 Experience Survey

Request from Dr Lee Hudson: Clinical Associate Professor, UCL GOSH Institute of Child Health, London

“My colleagues and I (including the President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health) are conducting an online study looking at how COVID-19 is affecting the lives, mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 16-24. It’s an academic study, not commercial and results will be used for academic research only. It is a joint project between UCL and Imperial College in London, but is covering the whole of the UK.

  • This is going to be really important to understand what the needs are now and moving forward for policy and healthcare
  • They are a particularly vulnerable group as they tend to fall between the cracks in terms of health provision but also having a voice

Please share this survey with young people aged between 16 and 24

Attachment Matters Survey

Request for contributors to a Survey of Routinely Used Interventions for Improving Attachment in Infants and Children

Please could you pass this link on to all your team members and colleagues who work with children and / or their caregivers therapeutically.

A team of researchers at UCL and the University of York are conducting an important survey of current practice in the UK for 0-13 year old children with, or who are at risk of, attachment problems, and / or their caregivers.

We are  contacting as many teams and individual practitioners as possible across the UK. 

Our aim is to build a picture of the availability of different kinds of support for those children and families as this information is currently not known. The results will be essential for setting priorities for clinical practice and establishing the availability of attachment interventions in different areas for this group of children. 

We hope to find out about face-to-face working, and not online provision. This work will also play an important role in strengthening the evidence base underpinning those interventions. Survey responses will be anonymous, no individuals will be identified in any published materials arising from this  project.

The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete and can be completed on desktop computer or on mobile phones or tablets.

Help identify priorities for preventing suicide amongst autistic people

Please consider completing this online survey about priorities for research and policy:
