What is the purpose of the survey?
This survey is about smoking and quitting experience/s. We would like to find out the help people want to stop smoking or to stay smokefree. We also want to hear about any previous attempts you have made to quit smoking. If you are a smoker or have been a smoker we want to hear from you.
Will my taking part in the study be kept confidential?
Yes. We take confidentiality very seriously. The survey does not ask for your name so no-one will know you have taken part and your answers cannot be traced back to you. All surveys will be kept on a secure, password protected computer. Please be aware that, because we do not take names, it is unlikely you would be able to withdraw your answers from the study after you have returned the survey.
Do I have to take part?
No. It is up to you to decide whether or not to take part. Please read this information and take your time to decide. However, please only complete this survey if you live, work, socialise or access Wirral services.
What’s involved?
The survey asks for brief information about you, your smoking habits and experiences, past and present.
Are there any risks/benefits to being involved?
There are no direct risks or benefits to you from being involved in the study, but the information you provide will be used to help develop and improve future services for you and others.
