Have your say: Participants needed for research study on living with multiple chronic health conditions

A research study is looking into the experiences of adults who are living with or have lived with multiple chronic health conditions.

A current doctoral research study is exploring the experiences of adults who are living with, or have previously lived with, multiple chronic health conditions that were present before the age of 25. 

While most existing research on multimorbidity focuses on older adults, there is far less understanding of what it’s like for younger people who navigate challenges related to living with multiple long-term conditions. Your insights can help fill this critical gap, inform better healthcare practices and future research. 

Who can take part?

  • Individuals aged 18+
  • Currently living with, or previously lived with, two or more chronic physical or mental health conditions before age 25
  • Fluent speaker of English

What’s involved?

  • A confidential online interview lasting 30-60 minutes, at a time that suits you.
  • Participation is voluntary, and you can stop at any time

If you’re interested or would like more information (or know someone who might be), please feel free to reach out to the researcher at emonag300@caledonian.ac.uk. 

Thank you in advance for considering taking part and helping to include younger voices in chronic illness research.
