Skip to main content Researchers at the University of Western Australia, School of Psychological Science, are interviewing people with endometriosis aged 17-24 to identify their help-seeking experiences and needs, and understand what kind of support/resources would assist other young people who are seeking a diagnosis of endometriosis in the future. Parents are also being interviewed to understand their experiences of supporting their young person to seek medical help.
Who can participate?
You may be eligible to participate if:
- Young people (17–24 years) with a formal medical diagnosis of endometriosis, living in Australia, who are interested in having their voices heard on an important health issue.
- Parents/guardians of young people with endometriosis.
No special knowledge is required. Participants can be from anywhere within Australia and will be reimbursed $50 for their time.
Young people and parents/guardians can apply as individuals (i.e., you might have a parent who is also interested in taking part, but this is not a requirement).
What does the research involve?
Participants will be asked to attend an online interview (one-on-one) with a female researcher for approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Young people and parents/guardians will be interviewed separately. Interview questions will explore what the help-seeking process is like, and assess how young people can be better supported.
