Event Programme 

Participant Focus Group

Many thanks to all those participants who took part in the Focus Group following the 30th anniversary celebration. Your input is very valuable to us and will be used to help plan the next study phase.

  • A one day Stress and Health Study Participant Focus Group was held on 15 April 2016 at University College London (UCL). The purpose of this Focus Group was to gain feedback about the study from the Stress and Health study participants.
  • We invited a random sample of study participants. This sample included participants with different backgrounds living in various locations around the country. 11 participants attended the Focus Group.
  • An independent facilitator, Andrew Risner from Empowerment at Work,  was employed to run the day following our brief.
  • The Focus Group provided a range of important insights into the experience of study participants, which the independent facilitator summarised in a report. The Stress and Health Study will use the information in the report to help improve the study.
