Hi everyone!
I'm a high school student currently enrolled in AP Research, and I'm conducting a study that examines the connection between coping mechanisms and lifestyle choices (diet, exercise, and sleep).
I'm looking for nursing students who would be willing to participate in a short (15-20 minute), anonymous and voluntary survey.
Participation is completely optional, responses are anonymous, and you may exit the survey at any time. No personal identification information is collected. The study is for academic purposes only.
If you're interested in participating or have any questions, please let me know — I'd really appreciate your help!
Thank you so much for your time and for all that you do in healthcare ❤️
