Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences developed an application that supports the fight against addictions

04.12.2018

Researchers from the Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences have started the Nationwide Study of Addictions. For this purpose, they have created a special application Nalogometr.

The application is to collect data about compulsive hunger from people with addictions. Every day, people willing to participate in the study will be asked about the perceived exacerbation of compulsive hunger with the use of a special scale. The ophthalmologist will also ask participants about well-being and ask to complete surveys concerning our life. This will allow researchers to understand the scale of the addiction problem and develop support methods.

Data collected in the Nalogometer will be forwarded to the Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. They are fully anonymous, and access to the application is protected by a PIN code.
