Participant Information

Yes. The app is part of a feasibility study examining an intervention that can support the networking and socialising of university students. An aim of the intervention is to support the wellbeing of a wide range of students.

The main component of our intervention is the InterDine app that allows users to create and/or join an eating meetup. The app brings students together at mealtimes or breaks, to socialise around a meal, snack or coffee. Additional components of the intervention include volunteer students undertaking a ‘peer promoter’ role. Peer promoters will organise regular group meetups during term time. This will be supported by promotional material and a (social) media campaign, including short videos.

We have developed the InterDine app and intervention, and, for this study, we would like to examine whether students think the intervention is acceptable, usable and feasible.

You’ll receive a separate information sheet and consent form with full details if you choose to take part in the study.

Yes. Currently the app is only available to students who are participating in the research study, as we examine the feasibility and usability of the app.

You can find out more by looking on our webpage (InterDine) or emailing the research team at resource.InterDine@warwick.ac.uk. If you are interested in participating, you will receive a separate information sheet and consent form with everything you need to know about the study, including what data may be collected, how it’s stored, and how your privacy is protected.

We’d love to hear your thoughts! You can use the in-app feedback box or email us directly. Your input helps us understand how the app is working and how to make it better. As part of the study, you will also have the opportunity to complete surveys which will provide us valuable feedback about the app. You may also be invited to attend a focus group to provide further feedback.
