Researchers at University of Nottingham are looking for people who are parents or carers of young people living with Crohn's Disease to help them develop patient recruitment materials for a new study.
Comment on recruitment materials to help shape a paediatric Crohn's Disease project
Researchers would like input from people with lived experience to help shape the design of their research.
They aim to improve the design of paediatric trials in Crohn’s Disease by integrating input from people with lived experience at an early stage. They want to co-create a compact, realistic feedback toolkit and supporting materials tailored for paediatric clinical trial planning. They hope this will help make trials more acceptable and feasible for paediatric patients and their families.
To take part you must be:
A parent or carer of a child living with Crohn's
Or
Aged 12-17 and living with Crohn's.
If you choose to take part you will be invited to take part in a one-off Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) activity conducted virtually. You will be asked to review the participant-facing study documents and provide written feedback using a structured PPIE feedback form. The documents may include Participant Information Sheet.
If you are interested in taking part, or would like more information about the study, please email the researcher directly zara.najeeb@nottingham.ac.uk
You are not committing to take part and 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.
