The pilot study is progressing strongly. Just a reminder to all students who have enrolled so far, that you need to progress on to do your first well-being survey. This will only be available for a limited period of time, and you need to complete this before progressing onto the next phase. All 3 phases of the study need to be completed in order to be eligible for the draw to win one of the two iPads.

Next week we begin the RA training component of the pilot study. As an RA, you can only enter this component of the study by invitation.

Again, we thank you for your participation in the OWIUS 2012 study and look forward to receiving your responses to the first online well-being survey in the next week.

Best wishes,
-The OWIUS Team.

We are pleased to advise that we commenced the pilot study on Wednesday last week with the support of Otago University Colleges.  Please keep an eye on your email inboxes for an email that your Warden/Deputy Warden will be sending to you on our behalf, inviting you to take part in the pilot study on student well-being.  

At this stage, we are enrolling students (who are not RAs) from all Colleges at Otago University for the study and inviting them to complete the first online well-being survey. Already we have received a number of enrolments and completed online surveys and would like to take this opportunity to thank Wardens and Deputy Wardens and students at the Colleges for their support and cooperation. 

The study assessments that will involve RAs will commence by the end of this month and we will advise Colleges of the start date in the next few days.  We look forward to having your participation and providing you with a summary of the main findings in due course. 

Best wishes,
The OWIUS Team
