Individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) report experiencing emotional difficulties in addition to physical health difficulties. We want to find out more about what factors impact well-being in BBS.
Researchers at Aston University are running a research project collecting questionnaires and asking individuals with BBS to do some tasks. We hope it will help doctors and healthcare services to know which person characteristics are related to well-being in BBS.
We are hoping to recruit 120 individuals with BBS or a parent/carer/person who supports them to complete some questionnaires and interviews.
The questionnaire takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and families will receive a ÂŁ5 voucher for their participation. Please note: all families who have previously taken part will be contacted soon about receiving their voucher.
How can families become involved?
