Most research on carers seem to focus on women as the caregiver, very few studies investigate how men respond to the challenges of caring. Men make up a significant minority of carers looking after wives/partners with dementia. Some men negotiate this role successfully and some men experience difficulties. The aim of this research is to find out more about how caring affects men's view of the role and themselves.

Clio Berry
University of Sussex

This online questionnaire will ask you about your social inclusion and beliefs about yourself and other people. Anyone who is aged 14 to 35 years and is a current UK resident is able to take part. It will take up to 30 minutes. Social inclusion means the level to which people feel included in various areas of living, for example, their job, education and family. The purpose of this study is to find out what young people in the UK do with their time and who they spend time with. There are no immediate benefits to taking part in this research study. However, the findings will help to understand what young people do with their time - and so the findings could be used to help to inform services for young people in the UK.
