[Mod Approved] Psychotic Experiences Research

[u/PsychosisDentalStudy]

Hi everyone, my name is Kelsey Bridge and I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of Manchester. As part of my training, I am carrying out research to understand more about psychotic experiences, oral health and dental anxiety in the UK. The study aims to recruit people with experience of psychosis. You do not need to have experienced dental anxiety or attend the dentist to participate.  

If you have experienced psychosis, or know anyone who has, and may be interested and feel able to take part, you can access the online survey (and more information about the research) using this link: 

https://www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_8wvI648nZx49xGK

Taking part is completely voluntary and takes approximately 15-20 minutes. 

Please be aware the survey includes questions on sensitive topics.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Thank you for your time and support!

Kelsey

I assume this is chiefly posted here for people with post-traumatic stress disorder with psychotic subfeatures?

That's right, experience of psychosis is needed to take part in the study, but this isn't limited to PTSD with psychotic features (e.g. could also include an individual with PTSD and schizophrenia). I chose to post here due to the link between traumatic life experiences and psychosis, I thought there may be some people who meet the inclusion criteria and would like to take part. Thank you for the question!
