About This Research
This research is being carried out as part of a PhD project at the University of Manchester. It aims to understand where ticks are found across this landscape, and how that has changed over time, using the knowledge of the people who live and keep livestock here.
What does the survey involve? You will be asked a few questions about yourself, then invited to mark two maps: the areas where you find the most ticks, and the areas where you do not find ticks. You can mark as many separate areas as you like on each map. There are no right or wrong answers — this survey is about your own knowledge and experience.
How long will it take? Around ten minutes.
All data collected is completely anonymous. No personally identifiable information is stored. You may stop participating at any time without consequence.
