Young women aged 16 – 19 needed for a University Research Project (£35 gift voucher in return!)
Do you know a young woman aged between 16 and 19 years? Would they be available for an online interview? This is an exciting opportunity to participate in research! I am running a research project to hear from young women their views on the effects of alcohol on health, and in particular on pregnancy, and what steps can be taken pre-pregnancy to prevent this. The Interview session will take place online via MS Teams and last about 60 minutes. Participants will receive a £35 gift voucher following completion of the research interview session. Gift vouchers will be sent to participants via email within a week of the interview session. Click here for more information.
Interested? Contact me, Kemi Akagwu via email: o.akagwu@surrey.ac.uk or by sending a text message to 07934 548435 to learn more about how to participate.
Take part in a University of Surrey Paid Research Project!

Volunteers needed for a university study which aims to reduce injury from falls amongst older people
Silas Purja, a research postgraduate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Surrey, is conducting a study “Investigating the Effect of Floor Stiffness on Standing and Walking Movement in Healthy Younger and Older Adults“. The research is being conducted to help improve safety and prevent injuries from falls in older adults.
He is looking for volunteers particularly in the 65+ age group, but also anyone aged 18+. The study involves walking and balancing on flooring of different hardnesses whilst being monitored. The session, in the Duke of Kent building on the Stag Hill Campus, lasts for approximately 2 hours. A parking permit is available together with a small payment of £10.
If you would be interested in volunteering please email Silas at sp00447@surrey.ac.uk Aside from helping with the project itself its quite interesting to see the experimental set-up and the visualisation of the data collected.
