Researchers invite pharmacists to complete mental health literacy survey - win $100 voucher
Community pharmacists are a highly skilled and vital resource for delivering frontline healthcare services to the public and are ideally placed to support people with mental health conditions.
A research team at The University of Auckland Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine is hoping to evaluate the mental health literacy of community pharmacists in New Zealand.
Pharmacists in Australia and the UK have already completed a survey about mental health literacy.
We are now inviting all community pharmacists in NZ to complete a similar online survey.
The total time required to complete the survey is expected to be no more than 15-20 minutes.
Every entry goes into a prize draw to win one of five Countdown $100 vouchers.
