Aims
Plymouth University are conducting a pilot study that aims to explore experiences of appearance-related changes in adults with brain injury and understand how these changes have affected social interactions. Our aim is to develop a questionnaire which can be used in the community to help identify those who need extra support due to appearance-related changes following their injury.
Participant criteria
- Feel you have experienced appearance-related changes following a brain injury
- Be at least 1-year post injury
What is involved in this study
We would like to hear about your experiences of appearance-related changes by completing our questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask you about your brain Injury, your well-being, your appearance and appearance-related changes. There is also a section which asks you to comment on the questionnaire itself and how well it fits with your experiences.
After the questionnaire, you will be asked if you want to take part in a OPTIONAL short interview to discuss your experiences of completing the questionnaire and to talk about your appearance-related changes.
If you feel you are interested in this study and meet the participant criteria and would like to participate or request further information, please feel free to contact the principal investigator Alyson Norman at: alyson.norman@plymouth.ac.uk
