A study exploring experiences of adults with a learning disability (pandemic)
Link to organisation:
Full description:
We want to design a study to understand how adults with a learning disability have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to know what it has been like to access mental health support at this time. We have some ideas about how to do this, but we want to work together with adults with a learning disability and their carers to design and conduct this study. We would like to set up a research team that will meet online every month. We will provide training in research to start with.
