Hi everyone,

I am involved with a group organising a conference in Manchester the theme of which is Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) in health and mental health. ESM is where participants respond to items when prompted to (usually at a random or pseudo-random time), whilst going about their normal daily activities. The conference will be of interest to anyone wishing to know more about the methodology, including how to analyse the data or anyone with an interest in mental health. The conference is a one day event on the 17^th of March and will cost the princely sum of £15. Please find attached the conference flyer and schedule for the day.

 

Many thanks.
