“Today’s research leads to tomorrow’s care”.
What needs investigating to help improve care for people with experience of addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, and their families, friends, and carers?
A team supported by the UK Government’s Office for Life Sciences Addiction Mission is looking for the following people to answer a new short survey which will influence future research:
- People age 16 or over with experience of addiction.
- Family, friends, or carers (age 16 or over) of anyone with experience of addiction.
- Health and social care professionals who work with individuals experiencing addiction.
The survey asks for suggestions or comments about all areas of addictions that need further investigation. It’s OK to write as much or as little as you like, about anything you feel is important.
This is being done as part of a Priority Setting Partnership led by people with experience of addictions, family members, charities, and healthcare professionals. Adfam is part of the Steering Group organising this work, and we want to make sure that as many different perspectives as possible are represented in the survey responses.
We’re inviting you to take part in the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WHK29XH and to circulate the survey link to your contacts to make sure we hear all of the important voices.
We are working with the James Lind Alliance to do this. With your help we will identify the Top 10 priorities for research that would improve quality of life for veterans and their families and supporters.
Please ask people with experience of addictions, family members and supporters and healthcare professionals that you know to complete the survey and say what would really make a difference to their lives.
