Taking part in this questionnaire

This questionnaire includes questions about your experiences and views on using energy at home. By energy we mean fuels such as gas, electricity and any other fuels (e.g. oil) you use to heat, cool or power your home and appliances. In the questionnaire we will refer to this as home energy. We will ask about comfort at home, fuel management, affordability and how it may affect your health and wellbeing.

There are between 15 and 21 questions as your responses may mean you skip over some questions that aren’t relevant. All apart from three questions are multiple choice.

This questionnaire is optional and choosing not to take part does not impact you being able to access support from Action for ME or National Energy Action.

Please complete the questionnaire in whatever way feels manageable for you. You can take breaks, skip any question you do not want to answer, and come back later if needed. Some questions ask about health, money and home energy use. For open text questions you can write as much or as little as you want. Bullet points are fine.

Your privacy is important to us. Your responses will be treated in confidence and stored in accordance with Action for ME's Privacy Statement here. You can read more in the Research Information Sheet here.

If you need this questionnaire in another format, please contact Action for ME's Projects and Participation Senior Practitioner, Avril McLean - avril.mclean@actionforme.org.uk
