Participants are needed for a new research project being conducted by Project VERANDA in Germany, a initiative which aims to develop new software for video, audio and text chat anonymization, for use in remote psychotherapy. The survey aims to understand the barriers different people face when accessing care, especially with regard to anonymity, and how these barriers can be overcome.
Anyone who is 18 years of age or older and speaks either English or German is invited to participate by completing a 30-45 minute survey. Interested potential participants may click the following link to participate or learn more:
The researchers have provided the following message with additional information about the study:
We are developing video, audio and text anonymization tools to provide anonymous access to help and support healthcare services.
Therefore, we would like to get your input on the features and requirements for these tools. For this purpose, we have set up an anonymous survey to collect your feedback. With your participation, we hope to develop a free and trustworthy tool.
We are a group of researchers from the Charité University Hospital of Berlin and our project partners.
While the researchers are associated with and the project is born from sexual abuse prevention projects, this project is independent and intended to be used in a wider variety of use cases, not exclusively for prevention services.
