 HELP NEEDED 

 From time to time we receive requests for assisting in studies by medical and research personnel. We reproduce one for your consideration:

Hello,

 My name is Lucy Gell and I am a postgraduate research student at the University of Sheffield exploring alcohol consumption patterns in older adults recently diagnosed with a long-term condition. In particular I am interested in talking to older adults recently diagnosed with Diabetes, Heart Disease or a Musculoskeletal condition to explore if and how their diagnosis affected their drinking patterns.

 I am hoping to do around 25 interviews with adults aged between 60 and 80 years old, recruited with help from various organizations across Sheffield. I am really interested in talking to older adults from a variety of backgrounds, to build a picture of the factors that affect alcohol consumption following diagnosis of a long-term condition in this population.

Kind regards

Lucy
