COHESION Patient Interviews
Interviews with parents/ carers of infants who were diagnosed with neonatal encephalopathy and received treatment.
This research is on neonatal encephalopathy and developing a “Core Outcome Set” of the most important outcomes that parents, healthcare providers and researchers think are important to asses to see if the treatment is working.
For this part of the research study, we will be asking parents or carers of infants, in Ireland and Australia, who were diagnosed with neonatal encephalopathy and received treatment (often cooling therapy), what they think is important to assess in studies looking at treatments for neonatal encephalopathy or HIE.
You can take part in this study if you are over 18 years of age and are a parent or other family member who care, or have cared for, an infant who has been diagnosed with and received treatment for neonatal encephalopathy.
