We want to find out what is important to the quality of life of children and young people aged 0 to 18 years old. We have been carrying out interviews with children, young people, and their parents/guardians to find out what is important to children and young people’s wellbeing. The findings from the research will help decision-makers to decide how health and social care is funded for children and young people.

We are looking to recruit the following people to take part in interviews:

(1) Parents with children aged 0-5 years

(2) Parents with children aged 6 to 18 years

(3) Children and young people aged 6 to 18 years.

Taking part in the study will involve doing an interview online with a researcher which will take up to 1 hour. For child or young person participants, the interview will involve asking them about the things that are important to you now and in the future. If you are a parent/guardian, we want to ask you about what you think is important to your child’s quality of life. Please note that if a child or young person aged under 16 years old would like to take part in an interview, a parent or guardian must contact us on their behalf. Each child or young person that takes part in the study will receive a £10 Love2Shop voucher as a thank you.

If you are interested in taking part in the Children and Young People Quality of Life Study or have any further questions please email Sam Husbands at Samantha.husbands@bristol.ac.uk.
