Me waiting for Sidley to send me my post app PFO cos it feels like it’s been 18384050000 years:
Hey everyone,
I know it sounds wired to post this here (and I'm also not sure if I'm allowed to post this - will delete if it's against the forum's rules), but I'm currently working on my final-year dissertation on "Does using a safety app increase women's perceived safety while walking in London?" and I'm looking for 20 participants to complete a short study. I've been struggling quite a bit to recruit participants and have been on the forum over the past few months, so I thought it might be worth giving it a try here (again will delete immediately if I'm not allowed to post it here 🥲).
I'm looking for 20 participants who:
- Identify as a woman
- Currently living in London
- Have felt unsafe at least once while walking in London
- Are aged 18-65
Participants will be asked to complete 2 short surveys (2 mins + 5 mins). Between the two surveys, you will be asked to use a safety app called Safest Way for 7 days. The app provides 3 types of pedestrian routes: safest, fastest, and safety-time balanced routes. It also has safety score for each route, which is calculated based on the street lighting, previous crime data, CCTV coverage etc. You don't need to use the app every day, but you will need to use it at least three times during the 7-day period.
Participants who successfully complete the study will receive a £10 reimbursement.
If you are interested in taking part, please send me a DM and I will share the survey link with you (and further information on downloading and using the app). I would really appreciate your help with this study. Thank you so much!! 😭😭🥹

Hi! I'm not eligible, but it sounds interesting! I was just curious how the app assesses the safety because perhaps the walking routes only differ by a small stretch of road or that it might be hard to gather minute details of crime data or CCTV coverage of each stretch of streets. No worries if you don't wish to answer, and all the best!
Any advice on how to ask a firm about transportation subsidies for a VS? I have found family to stay with in the South East so I do not need to pay for a hotel, but just help with the train ticket would be nice. I would understand if they do not offer this/reject my request since they are paying me for the VS, but I would still like to ask in a way which does not seem disrespectful or taking advantage. Advice? Should I just not ask?
