It is important that you have a safe email address that you can easily access while you are in this study. The following instructions will help you set up a free email account. First, choose a free email provider. We suggest you use Gmail.
Go to www.gmail.com

You can use abbreviations for the name fields, it is safer not to use your full name
Remember to choose a username that your abuser would not recognize as you
Remember to choose a strong password that your abuser does not know and could not easily guess

Make sure you will remember both your username and password, if you write these down, store them somewhere safe
If you do not want google to be your home page or use your account information make sure those boxes are unticked.
Tick 'I agree to terms of service and privacy policy' and the 'next step' button.
Enter a mobile number and then enter the verification number that will be texted to you.
