The overall aim is to explore the experiences of parents and carers of children with atopic disease from marginalised groups with reference to precision-based medicine approaches.Qualitative Interviews:
Participants will be invited to take part in a semi-structured qualitative interview to discuss their experiences of caring for a child with atopic disease and about their thoughts/ experience of precision medicine. At the beginning of the interview, participants will be asked to create a drawing which in some way reflects their experience of caring for a child with atopic disease. This is optional and participants will be given direction about how to achieve this.Although the image itself will not be formally analysed, it will be used alongside an interview topic guide to guide the interview. Interviews will be recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.
