Welcome to the survey.
We are a group of Scientists and Clinicians from Lancaster University, King’s College London, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, London, who are passionate about helping those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD; Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis or indeterminate IBD).
We have initiated a UK-wide project to examine if where you live influences whether you have Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis or indeterminate IBD. Therefore, we are reaching out to people with diagnosed IBD to take part in our brief survey.
The information provided for this study will help us assess whether geography influences IBD and whether it could be a target for further research. This may discover patterns that might help in the treatment of IBD sufferers in the future.
You will be able to revisit this website to see the results of our studies as they progress.
The survey will take approximately 10 minutes. When the survey starts, you will first encounter a Participant Information Sheet which describes the project and hopefully answers any possible questions you might have. It also gives you the opportunity to contact us for further information.
Once you have read the Participant Information Sheet, please select the “I have read and understood” button at the bottom.
This will bring you to the second page which is the Consent Form. After reading this form, if you agree to the statements (you must click on the six items that appear) and then please choose one of the two options (agree or disagree).
Agreeing to the above will bring you to the last stage, the questionnaire, which consists of a short series of questions.
Thank you very much for your participation in this study and for your sincere answers. You can also watch the short video we prepared for our study below.
