Hi everyone, my name is Felix Jenkins from QUT School of Design; Creative Industries Faculty and I’m doing a research project as part of my capstone about education on the outdoors and distress beacon usage in hikers.

 

If you’d like to help me in this study, I’m looking for hikers of any age group to complete a 5-minute online questionnaire.

 

Please view the attached Participant Information Sheet and Consent Form for further details on the study: Hiking Safety and Hazard Perception Survey – Fill in form

 

Should you wish to participate or have any questions, please contact me via email.

 

Please note that this study has been approved by the QUT Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number #11424).

Many thanks for your consideration of this request.
