There is an exciting opportunity to take part in a research interview study exploring individuals who identify as South Asian experiences of being diagnosed and living with a hereditary cancer syndrome diagnosis such as Lynch Syndrome and BRCA 1/2 alteration.
Researchers at the University of Leeds want to recruit and interview individuals who identify from an ethnic minority population (South Asian background), who have been diagnosed with a hereditary cancer syndrome diagnosis e.g., Lynch Syndrome and BRCA1/2 alteration and who currently live in the United Kingdom (UK).
Interviews will be on one occasion and will be for approximately up to one hour. Individuals can choose to have the interview either online, telephone, or in-person (if based in West Yorkshire) at a date and time that is convenient for them.
As part of this research, researchers hope to understand individuals’ experiences by sharing photographs that captures their lived experience of a hereditary cancer diagnosis.
