Dear EDF-rs, Hope you all had a very happy and peaceful festive season, and that the New Year is treating you all well so far! In the second half of last year, our research project (on Water, Energy and Food in the home) posted the message below inviting households to sign up for participation in our project for ?100 of food vouchers. Thank you to all those involved in EDF who have taken part so far! Into the New Year, we are now undertaking a second round of recruitment in East Dulwich and Peckham to extend the project. Some brief details of participation are provided below, but if you are interested in taking part, please do get in contact with me and I can send you a more detailed information sheet on what participation would involve. The design is very flexible, and the intention is for me to work around people's very busy time schedules as best as we are able. All Very Best to Everyone, and I look forward to perhaps hearing from some of you! K/R Nicola ------------------------------------------------------ Dear EDF, We - WEF@Home (OpenLab, Newcastle University) - are offering incentives of up to ?100 in supermarket/food vouchers as recompense for participation in a University project looking at how people in SE15 and SE22 use Water, Energy and Food (WEF) in their homes. WEF@Home is part of a wider project across a number of UK Universities that looks at the use of physical resources and the possible impact of that use on our environments. We are looking to recruit households across SE15 and SE22 to work with us to think about how households ? singles, couples, house-shares and families ? organise their WEF routines in their everyday lives. The research would involve daily activities of around 5 minutes (e.g. meter readings and collection of food receipts), and a weekly activity for around 20-30 minutes (e.g. a diary reflection on WEF). The research would also involve three estimated 60 minute interviews at the beginning, the middle and the end of people's involvement. Participants will be eligible for the ?100 in supermarket/food vouchers in two instalments of ?35 [Phase 1) and ?65 (Phase 2). If you have any questions about the project, please don?t hesitate to contact us on the details below. If you wish to take part in the project, then we would be very happy to hear from you via the contact details, or via responses to this thread... Have a great Weekend All!
