My name is Claire, I am an endometriosis sufferer, and I am currently working on my masters’ dissertation through the University of Stirling. My dissertation is on endometriosis and Instagram (specifically exploring what type of endo-related Instagram accounts endo sufferers follow and how they use them) and I was wondering if you could help me with participant recruitment by spreading word of my study to your network.

The interviews would be about one hour maximum and can be online or in-person (depending on participant location- this is a Scotland-based study). The questions will focus predominantly on their use of Instagram and experiences with endo-related Instagram accounts, not on their experience of the disease itself.

This is study is supervised and adheres to the ethical standards set forth by the University of Stirling. If you have any questions or would like copies of the participant information guide, consent form, or anything else please feel free to reach out to me (cem00091@students.stir.ac.uk)! I’ve also set up an Instagram account for the project (@endostudy2022) which has more information on the project readily available.

Thank you for your time,

Claire Martin
