Participants needed for study examining the use of writing to improve body image in adults with vulval skin conditions (University of Sheffield, UK)
Do you have a vulval skin condition that affects how you feel about your body? Dr Kate Adkins at the University of Sheffield is running an online Randomised Controlled Trial to test whether or not a brief online writing intervention could improve body image in adults with a range of conditions that affect the skin, including conditions that affect the vulva.
To take part in this study, you will need to be aged 18 or over and live with a skin condition (e.g. lichen planus, lichen sclerosus, vulval intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), cysts, herpes or dermatitis/eczema) which negatively affects how you feel about your body.
Full details of the study are given on our Current research page.
