  • Research summary

    There has been limited work done to understand and comprehend the attitudes and behaviours of the patients who seek treatment for alcohol addiction in Emergency Department (A&E).
    This research is focused to assess those attitudes by using a qualitative model of data collection, which means the suitable patients will be interviewed and then interviews will be assessed and coded to gain understanding of underlying psychological processes. These interviews will be recorded (in audio format) and then transcribed & coded to understand the themes.
    These interviews will be helpful to understand the patient’s views about the addiction’s treatment. This result will be helpful to gain the insight into treatment seeking behaviour. This research will be conducted at Chapman Barker Unit, which is a specialist addiction treatment unit run by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trust. This research is aimed to finish before August 2017.
