Research participation requests are sent to the Stroke Association from external research institutions (e.g. universities and hospitals).
We conduct checks on these before promoting but are not involved in their running. This means we cannot comment on trials and have no affiliation with them.
Researchers at Kings College London are looking for people living with a Long-term physical health condition such as stroke, to take part in a study to test a new questionnaire.
The new questionnaire has been designed to measure mood in people living with a long-term physical health condition.
We hope by developing this questionnaire we will be able to provide more appropriate mental healthcare for people with long-term conditions, such as stroke and/or other long-term health conditions to learn more about illness-related distress.
This new study funded by Kings College London will assess the reliability and accuracy of this new questionnaire.
We are looking for adults in the UK with a diagnosis of any physical long-term health condition. The study involves two online questionnaires (1 x 10-15 minutes, 1 x 5 minutes, a week apart).
All study information, including the link to take part in the survey can be found here: Living with a LTC study | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree.
What is the opportunity about?
The study is taking place as many people living with stoke and other long-term physical health conditions experience psychological distress such as anxiety and/or depression.

What will it Involve?
All study procedures are completed online. Participation includes completing two short questionnaire online, one week apart.
The first questionnaire takes about 20 minutes to complete and the second one takes 5 minutes to complete.
The questionnaires will ask people about their mood and experience of living with a long-term health condition.

A study of the summary findings will be sent to participants at the end of the study.

Taking part in clinical trials can support research to:
- Stop strokes from happening.
- Treat strokes.
- Support people to rebuild their lives.
By taking part in research, you can help us to learn more about stroke and make a difference in the lives of future stroke survivors.
Find out about how our research has made a difference in the lives of people affected by stroke.
We have produced the Clinical Trials and Stroke booklet to explain more about clinical trials and answer questions you might have about taking part. The booklet was produced with the NIHR Clinical Research Network.
Information on Research Involvement
Research Involvement is a different way of contributing to research that involves collaborating with researchers to design decisions about how research is shaped and conducted.
You do not need any research knowledge to do this, your lived experience is what would otherwise be missing. Involvement is about contributing this to shape projects in ways that create most potential to benefit people affected.
