Opening Karakia
This image is based in Haast, and the river is called Awarua. So I have chosen a karakia by the local iwi, Kāi Tahu, called Ka Koroki Te Manu.
Ka Haea te ata, ka Hāpara te ata
Ka korokī te manu
Ka wairori te kutu
Ko te ata nui, ka horaina
Ka Taki te umere,
He po, he po, he ao
ka awatea.
As the dawn breaks and we hear the birds call, we move from the time of darkness to the new era of enlightenment. Each new dawn enables us to embrace new knowledge, to be inspired by the possibilities that rise in front of us.
If you would like to take part in the same survey at a future date:
After my PhD, I am hoping to run this survey again which will help create research looking at patterns across time to develop a greater understanding of young adults with ADHD.
If this is something you are interested in, you will be asked questions in the survey that can link you to your contact details provided in a separate form, if you want to provide a different email to the one you're using for this survey. Your contact information will NOT be given to Researchers outside of the research team and you can opt out even if you have given us your email.
Regardless of which option you decide when taking part in the survey, your identity will not be revealed in any reports, presentations, or public documents.

Opening Karakia
This image is based in Haast, and the river is called Awarua. So I have chosen a karakia by the local iwi, Kāi Tahu, called Ka Koroki Te Manu.
Ka Haea te ata, ka Hāpara te ata Ka korokī te manu Ka wairori te kutu Ko te ata nui, ka horaina Ka Taki te umere, He po, he po, he ao ka awatea.
As the dawn breaks and we hear the birds call, we move from the time of darkness to the new era of enlightenment. Each new dawn enables us to embrace new knowledge, to be inspired by the possibilities that rise in front of us.
If you would like to take part in the same survey at a future date:
After my PhD, I am hoping to run this survey again which will help create research looking at patterns across time to develop a greater understanding of young adults with ADHD. If this is something you are interested in, you will be asked questions in the survey that can link you to your contact details provided in a separate form, if you want to provide a different email to the one you're using for this survey. Your contact information will NOT be given to Researchers outside of the research team and you can opt out even if you have given us your email. Regardless of which option you decide when taking part in the survey, your identity will not be revealed in any reports, presentations, or public documents.
