Current research study into Vulvodynia

My name is Victoria Stanley and I am studying on the MSc Health Psychology course at Liverpool John Moores University.

As part of a research study, I am looking to recruit women who identify as LGBT and have a clinical diagnosis of vulvodynia to take part in interviews. The study aims to explore the experiences of LGBT women with vulvodynia, namely their experiences with health professionals. As I have been diagnosed with vulvodynia myself, I understand how personal it is and how difficult it can be to talk about it.

The LJMU Psychology Research Ethics Panel has assessed the research study and approved it.

I would be grateful if I could advertise this study on your page. If you would like further information, please contact me on V.J.Stanley@2022.ljmu.ac.uk. My supervisor, Dr Kathryn Bould, can be contacted at K.J.Bould@ljmu.ac.uk.

Thank you,

Victoria
