Summary of CLoCk
A Brief Summary of CLoCk
The CLoCk study of Long Covid in children and young people (CYP) is funded by NIHR and ended data collection in May 2023. It had three aims.
1) To describe what happens to children and young people in the months after they have COVID-19
2) To agree what is meant by ‘Long COVID’ or ‘Post COVID-19 Condition’ in CYP to help researchers compare findings
3) To help understand how many CYP in England are likely have Long COVID.
Patient Public Involvement (PPI)
PPI involvement is at the heart of our work and led by Emma Dalrymple. We had a diverse group of Children and Young People that met regularly to help inform the project. PPI group contributions including checking the long covid definition, feeding back on presentations and helping to designing dissemination videos and the website.
