Our research team at the University of East Anglia want to hear from you!

1. Taking part would involve completing an online survey.
2. The survey asks you rate how important you think different areas of mental health research are.
3. The survey takes around 20-30 minutes to complete.
4. There is an opportunity for you to enter a prize draw to win one of twenty £25 Amazon vouchers as a thank-you for your time.

The team are also talking with people with lived experience of mental health difficulties who live in rural or coastal areas to find out what matters to you in providing the best mental health care, and what you think are the most important gaps in knowledge about mental health.

1. Taking part would involve a group discussion with other people, or a one-to-one discussion with a researcher.
2. This will take place locally to you, and travel expenses will be provided.
3. You will be asked about things that could affect mental health, and how we better support mental health.
4. You will be offered a £25 gift voucher to thank you for your time.
