We are a group of researchers from Wits conducting a study about the impact of load shedding on the mental health of the general population. The study involves completing a brief anonymous questionnaire about your experiences of loadshedding. This should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Completion of this online survey is taken to mean that you give consent to participate. When we share the results of the study, we will not include your name or anything else that could identify you. The information collected will be used to promote better access to mental health services and develop appropriate psychological interventions as well as for academic purposes. If you have any further questions, please feel free to e-mail Prof Maria Marchetti-Mercer on maria.marchetti-mercer@wits.ac.za
