Hands-on Crafting App for Mental Health - Survey
We are a team of 5 undergraduate students at UW from HCDE, Industrial Design, and CS looking to do research for a Design Project! Our app idea is aimed at making hands-on crafts/activities more accessible and stress-free as a way to support mental health. This survey (19 questions) is designed to get a better idea of what people are looking for in such an app. Responses are anonymous -- We appreciate you taking the time to fill this out!

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Selena Liu (yingle@uw.edu) or Annie Huang (annieh04@uw.edu).

Research shows that:
“Crafting served as a “life-saver” among study participants. It created a distraction from COVID-19; it helped participants to stay busy; it contributed to positive feelings; and provided a means of connecting with other crafters and supporting others.”

““A sense of mastery is important for wellbeing, and there is inherently a sense of mastery associated with crafting and creating art; that is, people can see their progress and be proud of what they are producing.” (https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/15/health/arts-and-crafts-increase-mental-health-wellness/index.html)
