Researchers at the University of Warwick are conducting a study on annual health checks for 14 to17-year-olds with a learning disability.
As part of this, they are running a survey for parents or carers of young people with a learning disability to understand more about their views and experiences of annual health checks.
Taking part would involve completing a short survey sharing their experiences, after which they would receive a £10 Edenred voucher which can be spent at a range of retailers.
You can take part if you are a parent or carer of a young person with a learning disability who is aged 14-17, live in England, and can read/listen and write in English.
They ask that only one parent or carer per young person completes the survey, to avoid duplicate responses.
A learning disability (also called an intellectual disability) is a disability which makes it harder for people to understand complex information, learn new things, and complete daily tasks without support.
A learning disability is different to other disabilities such as specific learning difficulties (e.g., dyslexia), ADHD, and autism.
However, some people may have these disabilities as well as a learning disability. Sometimes people with learning disabilities may have been diagnosed with “Global Developmental Delay” when they were younger.
Due to a high number of non-genuine responses, Warwick University has temporarily closed the link to the survey.
If you would like to take part, please email them at IMPACT-LD@warwick.ac.uk.
