Thank you for completing the questionnaire! Please bookmark this page for future reference.

Please remember your answers are anonymous (we are not asking for your name), and only the project researchers will see your responses. Reports of the results will not include any information from which you or your child(ren) could be identified. Your answers are very important in helping us to find out about how parents monitor and control their children’s gaming and Internet use.

If you have any questions about the study then please feel free to contact the researchers by emailing Julie Prescott (jprescott@uclan.ac.uk).

Want to help with future research?

The research team will be conducting a number of telephone interviews with parents of children who play computer games in order to gain a deeper understanding of the issues and concerns parents have in this area. If you would like to receive further information about possibly taking part in an interview, please contact Julie Prescott (jprescott@uclan.ac.uk). Please note that if you do contact Julie about this, your questionnaire data will still be secure and anonymous, as it is not possible to link any email addresses with the data provided in the questionnaires.
