Participate in a research study
Cryptocurrency trading survey
UQ researchers are seeking people to take part in an online survey to help develop and validate a new questionnaire on cryptocurrency trading behaviours. This scale will allow clinicians to identify early warning signs that crypto trading may be causing stress or problems, and give researchers a consistent way to understand and track these experiences. Participation involves completing an anonymous online survey about your cryptocurrency trading habits, thoughts and feelings related to trading, and any impacts on daily life, finances and wellbeing. The survey takes around 10 minutes. For more information, contact Mr Benjamin Johnson at benjamin.johnson@uq.edu.au.

A focus group study to develop an online compassion-based intervention for parents after preterm birth

36-hour sleep deprivation
Nap vs Zap: can brain stimulation benefit the sleep-deprived brain? UQ researchers are seeking good sleepers (regular, undisturbed sleep) aged 18 to 39 for a sleep deprivation study requiring 3 separate overnight stays at UQ St Lucia. You will receive non-invasive brain stimulation and electroencephalography (to record brain activity) while tested on a range of cognitive tasks (attention, memory, reaction time). Email Nicholas at n.bland@uq.edu.au for more information.
Assessing Psychological Wellbeing after Melanoma in Situ Diagnosis: A Survey Study
This survey aims to understand how people feel emotionally after being diagnosed with melanoma in situ (MIS). Researchers want to see how reactions differ depending on personal factors, how long it has been since the diagnosis, and whether someone has had more than one MIS or other skin cancers. The goal is to identify people who may need extra emotional support and to compare the psychological wellbeing of those with MIS to those diagnosed with other localised skin cancers like BCC or SCC.
