Study Title: Stakeholder Perspectives on Cardiovascular Screening During Routine Mammography in Australia

Researchers: Dr. Lauren Houston & Rheannon van der Linden from The George Institute for Global Health

“I was a participant in this study, having responded to Rheannon after receiving the study information from Join Us. It was a very easy process to get involved, and I heard back from Rheannon very quickly.

Rheannon scheduled the online meeting quickly, and made things very easy and comfortable, as well as feeling safe and respected, while giving my views. Being able to provide my lived experience is personally very empowering, as well as very much an honour to speak about something that could potentially make women’s lives easier and find health concerns quicker.

I always enjoy receiving the Join Us emails, and then contacting the researchers in the studies that I have lived experience in, because they are all so welcoming, supportive, and they all have a genuine interest in hearing your experiences and thoughts around future care.”

We sincerely thank Jane* for sharing her experience of participating in the cardiovascular screening during routine mammography study.
