Co-design of a health-promotion program for young adults using social media

Participants will be asked to attend 2-3 co-design workshops on Zoom. Those who agree to participate will be asked to join 8 or 9 others in semi-structured workshops, each estimated to last about 120 minutes.

The student researcher (Jess) and the principal investigator (Dr Rajshri Roy) will moderate the group and ask for participation in a number of activities and discussions which will likely involve:

1. Group brainstorming on the meaning of health and wellbeing (to yourselves, your friends, and your whānau)
2. Voting on important and useful Instagram content and potential intervention goals
3. Discussion around a potential Daily Health Coach aesthetic, frequency of posting/messaging, and cultural inclusivity

We encourage those interested to view our website for more details.

Participants will also receive a $50 supermarket or petrol voucher for each workshop session.

We are looking for participants who:

• Are aged 18-24 years old
• Are fluent in spoken English
• Know how to use Zoom or comfortable enough with online technology to learn
• Have access to high-speed internet, and a device with a camera and microphone
• Have a private place where they can participate in an online workshop without interruption
• Are interested in the research questions we are trying to answer

Please feel free to contact any of the persons listed below for further information or any concerns about the research. The primary contact for more information about the study is Jessica Malloy, so we recommend reaching out to her first.
