Participants wanted!- Vaccinations in adults with learning disabilities

[CHarding31]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well.

We are looking for participants for what might turn out to be very important research, hopefully benefiting the LD community!

I am Kit, a postgraduate student at the Tizard Centre and an employee at EP Mencap in London.

I am carrying out a study exploring vaccination prevalence and experiences for adults with learning disabilities. The project has been approved by Tizard Ethics Committee.

We are looking at COVID-19 but other vaccines too. This article explains the purpose of the research: coral-living.co.uk/thinking...

I was wondering if you could possibly help distribute the fully-anonymised online questionnaires amongst wilful participants? (Support workers and/ or the people you support). We would be really grateful!

We are hoping to have questionnaires completed by the end of May. There are three separate 10-15min questionnaires:

1. Adults with a learning disability via an easy read questionnaire (with assistance if needed) :

OR

2. Carers supporting adults with a severe or profound learning disability (if they can’t complete with assistance). As proxy informants that know the person well, they would complete the questionnaire on the person's behalf:

3. Adults from the general population to compare their results with people with learning disabilities at the end of the study:

If you have any further questions, please contact me at [e-mail] or Dr Paraskevi Triantafyllopoulou (Vivi), my supervisor, at [e-mail]

Kindest regards,

Kit
