The research team at Queen’s University Belfast is inviting young people aged 15-17 in the UK and Ireland, who have drunk alcohol in the last three months, to fill out their 20-minute online survey about quality of life, alcohol use and its consequences, mental health, and regulating emotions.
The Adolescent Quality of Life Scale has recently been developed to assess how young people perceive their wellbeing and the quality of their lives. This questionnaire was developed for 15 to 17-year-olds who consume alcohol, and this study aims to test whether the questions are a good fit for assessing its target age-group. In addition, Queen’s University Belfast are also interested in exploring how young people’s quality of life is associated with their alcohol consumption, mental health, and the strategies they use to regulate their own emotions.
