Young people aged 10–24 are invited to take part in a new research study exploring the impact of parental pancreatic cancer diagnosis within the last five years.

Queen’s University Belfast PhD researcher, Caitlin McShane, is conducting a study in partnership with NIPANC which seeks to explore young people’s experiences when a parent has had a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.  The goal of this research is to enhance our understanding of young people’s experiences and to help improve support for families.

This study has received ethical approval from the Faculty of Medicine, Health, and Life Sciences, Queen’s University Belfast.

Who can take part?
