Young people aged 15-23 are invited to take part in a focus group on Tuesday 1 October 2024, to (1) discuss what they would do to find information, if they encountered bushfire smoke, and (2) provide feedback on a comic for young people about bushfires / bushfire smoke.
What is the aim of this project?
This project, led by the ANU, is about meeting the unmet information and mental health needs of young people who are affected by bushfires. We want to talk to young people aged between 15 and 23 years, to understand their experience of bushfires.
What does the research involve?
Young people are invited to take part in a focus group. This is the second focus group in the project, but you don’t need to have participated in the first group to take part.
We are seeking young people with a range of experiences. This may include young people who have experiences of bushfire smoke, and young people with more direct experiences.
Young people will be reimbursed $50 for providing their time.
The focus group will be held at the Youth Coalition office in O’Connor on Tuesday 1 October, from 5:30 – 7pm. We can assist with Ubers to and from Youth Coalition if needed, and we will provide dinner.
How do I get involved or find out more?

Your personal information and contact details will not be shared with anyone outside the Youth Coalition, and will only be used for the purposes of organising the focus group.Â
