We are pleased to announce that two of our studies are currently recruiting participants. If you would like to get involved in our research, please check if you meet the eligibility criteria, and get in touch with us at the email address provided!
Move and Snooze
Approximately 1 in 10 adults in the UK have osteoarthritis, with pain as a primary concern. Evidence suggests that improvements in physical activity and sleep may help to manage osteoarthritis-related pain. In response to this evidence, we have developed a new intervention.
Move & Snooze is a remotely delivered programme designed to target both activity levels and sleep in an effort to reduce osteoarthritis-related pain. For this study we are looking for participants to help us test the Move & Snooze intervention.
If you have osteoarthritis and would like to move more and sleep better, please get in touch with us by sending an email to epidemiology@abdn.ac.uk.
RHEUMAPS
The RHEUMAPS Study wants to understand the healthcare priorities of those living with a rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions and how these might differ in rural and urban communities. To do this, we’re inviting people to take part in a survey so that we can capture these priorities and identify the key differences in both rural and urban populations.
The information gathered in this study will help us make recommendations to support health service planning.
The survey will ask a series of questions to help us understand people’s experiences and priorities for care. It should take about 20 minutes to complete and can be accessed here (opens in a new window):
