Researchers at Keele University are looking for young adults (aged 18 - 35) with Crohn's or Colitis and who have had stoma surgery to test the Stoma Space website.
Stoma Support Study
The aim of the Stoma Space website is to support the emotional wellbeing of young adults (aged 18-35) who have Crohn's or Colitis and who either have a stoma or are considering having stoma surgery. The study is part of a research projected funded by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research.
