ABOUT THE SURVEY

WHY THE INITIATIVE?

As you are aware, the last couple of years have seen a spurt of cases involving mental health issues including depression, anxiety and addiction. Research has shown that there has been a many fold increase in Digital Addiction amongst youngsters and adults alike. This is going to affect the performance of the individuals over the years if not dealt with immediately. Keeping this in mind, Hoopsters, has initiated a program to identify the risk levels of Digital
Addiction amongst the children, young adults and adults as a preventive measure and as a source of data for early intervention.

ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT

We at Hoopsters, have collaborated with various institutions and experts to create awareness regarding Digital Addiction at schools. colleges, corporates and gated communities.

PROCESS:

The link to the questionnaire will be shared with the school/college management/ HR of the corporate/Secretary of the gated communities(as the case may be) who in turn will share it with the students, employees or the residents.

 

Upon submission of the duly executed forms, our system will automatically segregate the individual results into High risk, Moderate risk, Mild Risk and No Risk.
The report will be submitted to the concerned authorities() who will then inform the parents(in case of the schools). In case of Colleges the authorities will inform both the students and the parents.
As far as the corporates are concerned, the HR will share the report with the employees or the report can be shared directly with the employees as the case may be.
In case of the Gated communities, the parents will be informed of the results of their children and in case of adults, the individuals themselves will be informed directly.
