We are looking for participants for a study hopefully benefiting the learning disability 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:In praise of Tizard - disbelief and data - Coral Living
I was wondering if you could possibly help distribute the 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 two separate 10-15min questionnaires:
- Adults with a learning disability via an easy read questionnaire (with assistance if needed) :

OR
- Carers supporting adults with a 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:

If you have any further questions, please contact me at [ch786@kent.ac.uk] or Dr Paraskevi Triantafyllopoulou (Vivi), my supervisor, at [p.triantafyllopoulou@kent.ac.uk]
Kindest regards,
Kit
