Brief Summary

This is an anonymous needs assessment survey of the population of an Irish urban town. We plan to collect anonymous survey data in order to better understand residents needs and to determine the desired functionality of a new coach-led wellness app operated by our partners. This platform is currently trialled for health care professionals working in the RCSI Hospital Group. The survey will collect information on participants demographics, their lifestyle (including sleep, exercise, food, relationships, meaning and purpose, substance use and stress management). We will also ask participants about their use of wellness apps to support healthy choices related to their lifestyle. We also plan to conduct a qualitative assessment to further explore needs related to lifestyle health in specific cohorts, namely, older people (65 years and older), recent migrants, members of the travelling community, perinatal women, lone-parents, individuals with physical disabilities, secondary school students and remote workers.
