Online dating and risk amongst online users: Implications for sexual health promotion and public health intervention

Using the internet to meet people?

Looking for romance, love or sex online? We would love to talk to you!

What?

We are interested in exploring peoples' experiences of online dating. We want to chat with you online about your experiences and hear your thoughts about meeting people online. You'll need to be aged 18 years or over to participate.

Why?

Because online dating and using the internet to meet people might have implications for personal safety and sexual health.

How?

We'll interview people online, using instant messaging. All interviews will be confidential .

All participants will receive an information sheet and consent form which outlines the project and their potential involvement. Participants can opt out of the interview at any point.

If you would like to be involved or would like further information please email us or add us to your instant messaging (Windows Live or MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger) contact list: onlinedating@latrobe.edu.au.

We hope that the interview process will be insightful for everyone involved, so that we all get something out of the experience!

We look forward to chatting with you online soon. :-)
