Evaluation of User Experiences With the Online Self-help Course Think Life

This study aims to evaluate user experiences with the online self-help course Think Life, a suicide prevention intervention for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Think Life was developed by the Flemish Centre of Expertise in Suicide Prevention (VLESP) and is freely available via Zelfmoord1813.be. The course was originally developed in 2014 and updated in 2025 to improve its look and feel, usability, and inclusiveness, without fundamental changes to its core content.

The researchers seek to better understand how users experience the updated version of Think Life, including perceived strengths, usability, and overall satisfaction with the course.

Users of the Think Life self-help course will be invited through a call displayed on the course homepage to voluntarily participate in an online user evaluation study. Interested individuals can access an online informed consent form via a public internet link hosted on REDCap. Participants who provide online informed consent and meet the inclusion criteria will automatically be redirected to the online questionnaire, which is also hosted on REDCap.

Approximately 1000 participants aged 18 years or older can be included in this study. Participants are invited to complete a one-time online questionnaire with an estimated completion time of approximately 10 minutes.
