We have a specific interest in mental health, quality of life, accessing and/or utilizing supports or health care services, and social determinants of health.

Details
Participants will take 8-10 photographs that show their experiences of endometriosis during the pandemic. They will create 1-2 sentence captions for each photo, and submit the photos and captions to the research team. Lastly, they will partake in an individual, in-depth interview with one of our research team members to discuss their photos. Photos and captions submitted by participants may be shared in virtual and/or in-person exhibits.

Where those of us in the room may have debated policy or wording, patient voices made sure patients were top of mind. And as a result, significant improvements were made to simplify something that was otherwise complex. Patient voices at the table bring us back to reality in terms of what we are trying to achieve.
