Warm welcome,
,
, thank you for your interest in this study!

Before you can start the actual interview, there is some more information so that you can understand what it is about and what you can expect.

Aim of the study:
The aim of this survey is to investigate the connection between deprivation and psychopathology in the form of depression, anxiety and the ability to reflect. To this end, the data you provide will be anonymized and linked to deprivation factors in the individual districts of Frankfurt. Your data will therefore be used to examine the extent to which individual factors of deprivation (e.g. educational factors, proportion of green space in the immediate vicinity, average income, etc.) are related to various aspects of mental health and the extent to which these results correspond to the provision of mental health care in specific districts.

Information on the requirements for participating in the study:
In order to participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old, live in a district of Frankfurt am Main and speak German, as the study is only available in German.

Information on the study procedure:
The online questionnaire will take approximately 15 - 25 minutes to complete. During the online survey, you will be asked to provide some information about yourself and then assess the questions presented. Please answer the questions carefully and truthfully. Do not think too long about your answers. There are no right or wrong answers, as it is all about your personal assessment. Answering the questions is voluntary.

Information on remuneration for participation in the study:
You have the chance to win one of 10€ gift vouchers. If you would like to take part in the prize draw, you must enter your email address on the last page and you will automatically be entered into the draw. The draw will take place at the end of the survey phase (probably at the beginning of 2025) and the winners will be contacted by email. Your email address and the data you provide will be stored separately, which is why no conclusions can be drawn from your email address to your data at any time.

Voluntariness and data protection:
Your participation in this study is voluntary and serves only for the collection and scientific use of data in the context of my Master's thesis.
Participation can be terminated at any time without giving reasons and without incurring any disadvantages.
Your data will be treated confidentially and anonymously. It is not possible to identify you personally at any time, which is why it is no longer possible to identify and delete your data record after the survey. The data is collected via SoSciSurvey.
