What has your experience with health services been like?

Researchers want to hear from carers of children and young adults with Down syndrome aged 5 to 30 years.

Your feedback will help improve health services and shape better tools and support for people with Down syndrome and their families.

The study involves a short online survey and takes about 1 hour.

If you’re interested in taking part, please contact: Dr Rachel Skoss – rachel.skoss@thekids.org.au

This study is being led by the Kids Research Institute Australia and partners.
