This study forms part of a PhD in Health Economics and aims to develop policy recommendations to improve the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare services for individuals living with neuro-physical disabilities, such as MS, Spinal Cord Injury, Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, and Muscular Dystrophy.
Participants will be asked to complete an anonymous online survey, co-designed with individuals and families with lived experience. The survey presents hypothetical scenarios of healthcare services and asks participants to choose their preferred options. It takes around 20 minutes to complete.
Participation is voluntary, and no personal data will be collected. The research has received ethical approval from UCC’s Social Research Ethics Committee.
