Association between Reactive Attachment Disorder/Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder and Emerging Personality Disorder: A Feasibility Study

Table 1

Views of the participants regarding the best way of future contact.

ID What are the best ways to contact, including maintain contact, with young people? (We are interested particularly in your views of the use of social media)

()I think the best way to contact people is to phone them directly. Both now and in the future. Ask permission to contact them by phone. Also ask permission to text, as some people prefer text.
Facebook is a good widespread marketing tool, preference for twitter Can only say so much and straight to the point. The thing with twitter is that if they are not following they cannot get in contact directly, so would need to make sure people follow first.”

() “…Text is the best way. I use email, but I’m probably different that way. In a text you get the chance to think about what to say, may not want to respond. Young people often won’t answer calls.
Facebook is a preference to twitter, although have both? If a link on Facebook you can go straight onto the page. Best thing is to keep the page simple. Other options for advertising the study are the young scots magazine and providing information directly to the workers in supported accommodation settings.”

() “I avoid phone calls, use social media more. I use Facebook and twitter equally, Facebook is lengthy but twitter to the point.”

()Telephone. Texts after to help give info. Some people won’t answer unknown numbers.
Facebook is the most frequent way of sharing info (doesn’t use often but others do). People have large numbers of friends and can share among friends.”
“I do like to look through the adverts on Facebook.” “So may be interested if I saw the study and especially if other friends were sharing it.”

() “I use Facebook and snapchat but wouldn’t like research team to contact me through those.” “I would only like to be contacted through the service team and by phone.”

() “I spend hours on the phone. I use instagram mainly but it is to share photos and videos. Otherwise twitter- lot of people on it to look at celebrities but people tend to use Facebook more to share what are doing. A study feed would be useful to keep up to date with findings. Overall I would prefer text to keep in contact. Also suggests that face to face is best and suggests us coming out to schools to speak to people directly.”

()I use Social media, webpage- specific page for the site. I Like Facebook- can be used to informally have an official page; also use Facebook to link to site and twitter. I would personally go on if saw link, even out of boredom/nosey. Changes and progress = website, personal contact = phone or text, not using email anymore.

()“Phone is best.” “I ignore anyone I don’t know on Facebook. I don’t use email. I use instagram and snapchat but not twitter.” For research study I would just want to be phoned.

()Facebook and occasionally I use email, but not often. I don’t use twitter or anything like that.

()“Phoning is the best way to contact.” Instagram is the only social media I use- just photos, not writing to folk. I used to use Facebook but not anymore. I don’t like Facebook; think it’s really unhealthy with bullying and fake pages about people. If you complain it takes a while before stuff gets removed. People can also get addicted and can cause competitiveness.

(“I use Facebook and instagram to talk to friends, I don’t use twitter.” “My opinion is that phoning is the best way to contact young person for research.”
