Partners of those with a drinking problem

Hello all,

My husband is a problem drinker and it has had a huge impact on my wellbeing and our family life.
I am currently studying for a degree in health policy, and as there isn't much research on the impact that alcoholism has on the mental health of partners of those who misuse alcohol, I would like to research this for my studies.

I am looking for people (men or women), who are living with a partner who misuses alcohol. I would like to spend 45 minutes discussing one-to-one how your partner's drinking may have affected your wellbeing and mental health. This will take place by Skype, or if you prefer, by telephone. The information you provide will be completely confidential and will only be used to write up the research report for my degree. It won't be possible to identify you from my research report. I won't be sharing any personal details with anyone else, and I won't hold your contact details for any longer than necessary.

If you would be happy to participate, please email [email protected] for more information. I would really appreciate your help with this important research. On a personal level, it would be good for me to meet others in a similar situation and hear your experiences. Thank you

Has this project been approved by your local Research Ethics Committee, since you are asking for confidential information?

SudsM · 26/07/2020 17:16

Yes, why - are you interested in participating?

No, but I am particularly interested in research ethics, and was on a number of ethics committees

I'd be willing to answer any questions you have, but would prefer to do so via private message here.

I've been with my partner 5 years and his drinking escalated more recently due to bereavement. He has always had an u healthy relationship with alcohol.

I might be willing. Could you pm me here?
