Happy Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week! Often, having Crohn’s or Colitis can make you feel lonely and isolated. However, 1 in 200 people live with Crohn’s or Colitis. For the rest of the week, we will share tips on living with Crohn’s or Colitis!#CrohnsAndColitisAwarenessWeek

@amanat_l This is a very interesting topic! If you wanted to continue this work for an MA thesis how would you expand the study? Are there any additional aspects you would like to examine?

[Rachel Katzman @RachelKatzman]

@meghankmcinnis Exactly. The two main themes that emerged for why participants found the online sources to be most helpful included the source(s) providing social support and methods of coping, help, and or advice. These results could be useful in designing online resources for this demographic.

@EmmaSJGreen I agree! I plan to continue to research this topic and believe it is important to examine those currently receiving mental health care in addition to those seeking support informally.

[Rachel Katzman @RachelKatzman]

@EmmaSJGreen The sample for this study was University of Windsor students in emerging adulthood (18-29). Although there were several demographic questions, this question was not asked of participants. This would be a great direction for future research. Thank you for your question!

[Rachel Katzman @RachelKatzman]

@meghankmcinnis The items regarding intentions assessed how likely participants were to seek help within this period from "Never" to "Very Likely". The questions regarding behaviours first asked whether participants engaged in specific behaviours (yes/no) then assessed the frequency if relevant.

@amanat_l Thanks for you question and feedback @amanat_l!

[Rachel Katzman @RachelKatzman]

@amanat_l Help-seeking behaviour is seeking assistance from formal or informal sources of support with the intent to resolve issues (Rickwood & Thomas, 2012). Intentions are an individual's intent to seek assistance from either informal or formal sources of support (McDermott et al., 2017)
