The Westminster Centre for Research in Veterans based at the University of Chester are recruiting participants for their new study.
The Westminster Centre for Research in Veterans based at the University of Chester are recruiting participants for their new study.
There is a shortfall in research regarding the UK Armed Forces and ethnic minority populations even though we are aware that such populations are higher users of veterans specific mental health services and are also overrepresented in the Service Complaints system.
Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) awarded a grant to the University of Chester’s Westminster Centre for Research in Veterans to conduct research into the experiences of black, Asian, and minority ethnic veterans and their families. The study will use questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups to understand the motivators behind why black and Asian communities choose to join the British Armed Forces, remain and ultimately their reasons for leaving.
We are currently looking for veterans from any ethnic minority to complete the short online questionnaire, which should take no longer than 10-15 minutes and can be accessed by clicking on the link below: https://survey.questionstar.com/688d0487
We are also looking to interview veterans with Indian sub-continent or West Indian heritage. This usually takes no longer than 60 minutes, it can be conducted via an online meeting platform, and those participants who are interviewed will receive a £30 Amazon.co.uk gift voucher.
As a long-term outcome we would like to see that such veterans and their families are better placed to access appropriate assistance if required, including specialist medical and mental health services, through better engagement and connectivity.
If anyone has any questions regarding the study, please contact the research team at You can veterans@chester.ac.uk
