The aim of the study is to research the idea of 'treatment burden' by looking at the impact self-management and personal care has on people with Crohn's disease. Actions involved in treatment, including taking medication, self-monitoring, and lifestyle changes, could have a negative effect on someone's wellbeing, due to additional pressures of time, cost, and exhaustion. By understanding more about how treatment affects people with Crohn's the researchers hope to help improve health policy, support, and medication selection in the future.

Your participation will involve an audio and video recorded interview that will take approximately 75 minutes of your time. This will take place online through Microsoft Teams. You will be asked about experiences related to medication, interactions with healthcare professionals and the healthcare system, and the impact of treatment on your personal life.

For example, questions may include:
- Do you feel supported and heard by your healthcare team and consultant?
- How do you feel when you take medication/receive treatment?
- Has taking medication/receiving treatment changed the way you view yourself?

After transcribing interviews, audio and video recordings will be permanently deleted.

You can participate in this research study if you:
- Are aged 21 years or over.
- Have received a Crohn’s Disease diagnosis within the last year.
- Are currently receiving medication to treat your Crohn’s, supplied by the NHS.
- Are a fluent English language speaker.
- Have access to smart device with microphone and Microsoft Teams software.
