Coming Soon
Your story could help other young people.
Listening to others who have been through the same thing can provide much needed support as well as helping them to understand that they are not alone. Would you like to be interviewed for our site?
Would you like to help?
Are you 16 or over? We're looking for your people with experiences of diabetes & epilepsy, sickle cell & thalassaemia, intensive care, stroke and lymphoma to tell us their stories.
www.youthhealthtalk.org is a collection of interviews with young people about their experiences of health or illness. Their stories in their own words. The site has been developed by the DIPEx Research Group, University of Oxford (www.dipex.org). We hope to identify the issues, questions and problems that matter to young people when they have health problems. The site provides information and support to young people as well as helping to train health professionals who want to understand what it is really like (from a young persons viewpoint) to have a particular illness or health issue.

If you would like to volunteer, click on the email link volunteer@dipex.org and send us your name and address and which health problem you wish to be interviewed for. We will then send you an information leaflet about the project. When you have read the information leaflet and are happy to go ahead, complete the reply slip that has been sent to you (which gives us permission to contact you) and pop it in the post in the SAE enclosed.
What do the interviews involve?
When we receive your reply slip, a member of our research team will contact you to arrange a suitable time and place, convenient to you, to be interviewed. We would come to you home, hospital or youth centre and ask you to tell your own story. We would like to video record you, but you do not have to do this, we can also use just audio or written parts of your interview. We can even use an actor to play your part! The interview will take about 1 hour.
