Researchers at University of East London are looking for young people to take part in a new research study looking to learn more about young people's experience of discrimination when seeking help for chronic pain. They hope to develop ways to help healthcare professionals reduce discrimination and improve outcomes. 

If you decide to take part you will be asked to join a 1-hour online interview with a researcher to share your experiences. 

To take part you must:

  • be aged 18-24
  • live in the UK
  • experience chronic pain (this can be self-diagnosed) 
  • have sought help for chronic pain in a healthcare setting (GP, hospital clinic etc.) 

 

If you are interested in taking part and would like more information please complete the form below. 

By entering your details, you are not committing to take part, but your contact details will be forwarded to the researcher who will get in touch with you directly with more information. You will have the opportunity to change your mind at any time.

This research study is NOT organised by Crohn's & Colitis UK and, therefore, we cannot take responsibility for your involvement in the research.
