Impact of mental health on the credibility and validation of physical symptom reporting in people living with Crohn’s and Colitis

Researchers at University of Hull are looking for people diagnosed with Crohn's or Colitis to take part in a new research study looking at physical symptom reporting and mental health.

This study by researchers at University of Hull is looking to learn more about how mental health symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, can impact how people living with IBD feel their physical symptoms are understood by healthcare providers. 

If you take part you will be asked to complete an online survey taking about 20 minutes. The survey will ask you to share your experiences of healthcare providers. The aim is to improve support for future patient care. 

 

To take part you must be: 

  • over 18 
  • diagnosed with Crohn's or Colitis

If you are interested in taking part, or would like more information about the study, please complete the form below.

 

By entering your details, you are not committing to take part, but you will be forwarded to the study website for 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.
