Measuring recovery in people aged 60+ with bipolar
About the study
Our hope is that by creating a measure of recovery, attention is brought to the needs of older adults who are often missed out in research. Compared to other groups, older adults are often offered reduced treatment options and have less access to services. We hope to promote more research in the area so that the needs of this group are better met.
What will it involve?
You will be asked to complete a short interview about your experiences of bipolar. You would then complete a few questionnaires and be asked to complete one further measure 4 weeks later. All contact will be either online or over the phone. All people who take part will be contacted by one researcher so you can get to know them.
