We are conducting a study about the usage of psychological techniques to address sleep issues. The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of the barriers against the usage of such techniques and how these barriers can be overcome. The study has been approved by SMEC (Sociaal-Maatschappelijke Ethische Commissie/ Social and Societal Ethics Committee). Reference number: G-2022-5801-R2(MAR)

The study will require participation in 3 online group discussions with healthcare practitioners and people experiencing sleep issues, as well as 1 online questionnaire. In total, the estimated time contribution will make up 6 hours. The graph below illustrates the study flow, the amount of time required for participation, as well as preliminary schedule. 

Upon completing all stages, you will receive a compensation of 360 euro for your time contribution. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any point without explaining the reasons. If you decide to do so – just let us know that you are not willing to participate any longer. If you choose to withdraw earlier than the end of the study – the compensation will be paid partially, depending on the amount of time you contributed. 

All your answers will be treated anonymously and in accordance with data privacy protection law. 

Within this study we aim to find answers to specific questions. To reach that purpose, we need to ensure that we attract people with relevant background/ experience. In addition to that we need to ensure rich spectrum of people involved in the study, so your participation will depend partly on the relevance of your background/ experience, but also on the number of people with a similar background/ experience. Fill in the questionnaire below, and we will contact you in case you are eligible to take part in the study.
