Check for Ticks - Pilot Study (ii)

Thank you for taking the time to engage with our pilot study and for completing this short questionnaire. The University of the Highlands and Islands Rural Health and Wellbeing Team have been working in Highland communities for the past year to co-design a strategy to raise awareness of ticks and Lyme disease. This part of the study is an opportunity for us to test out some of the materials we have designed and establish if they are suitable in encouraging people to implement the behaviour: 'check for ticks'. If you would like more information about the project: - have a look at the website, if you have not already done so: www.checkforticks.org.uk - get in touch: checkforticks@uhi.ac.uk or sarah.morton@uhi.ac.uk The research was joint funded by The Robertson Trust and the European Space Agency.
