BC Hearing Voices Network Research

Research opportunity for young people ages 16-30

Researchers at the Early Psychosis Peer Recovery Network (EPPRN) and the University of British Columbia are conducting an online survey to better understand how experiences like psychosis and hearing voices fit into young people’s lives, including their culture, communities and relationships. This survey is open to young people of all backgrounds and identities who:

  • Are between the age of 16 to 30
  • Self-identify as hearing voices, seeing visions, having other unique perceptions or beliefs, and/or experiencing psychosis
  • Live in BC

The survey will take about 20 minutes. By participating in the survey, you will have the chance to enter a raffle for one of five $100 gift cards.
