Title of Project : Using the COM-B behaviour change model to explore the barriers and facilitators in weight management among people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. 

Are you an adult aged 18 years and over, and have had a diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?  

My name is John Hughes and I am a Health Psychology student at Ulster University. I am currently seeking participants to take part in an anonymous, online survey for my MSc. dissertation. My study is being supervised by Dr Marian McLaughlin (m.mclaughlin@ulster.ac.uk). The survey is expected to last approximately 40 minutes. 

The aim of this research is to explore the barriers and facilitators in weight management among people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The criteria for eligibility is as follows: 

Aged 18+ 

Received a diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (at any point) 

Not suffering from a more serious liver condition such as Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). 

Not currently feeling in poor physical or mental health  

If you wish to participate, you will be asked questions to explore the things that have helped or hindered you in relation to your weight management. However, it is important to note that this study may have the potential to cause some upset. Given this, we do ask that those individuals suffering from poor physical and/or mental health, not to participate in the study. 

If you would like further information or to discuss participating, please contact either the researcher, John Hughes (hughes-j60@ulster.ac.uk) or the research supervisor, Dr Marian McLaughlin (m.mclaughlin@ulster.ac.uk ). Please click the survey link provided if you would like to participate in the study. Thank you!

Hello all, nobody has completed the study yet from this group. I cannot tell you how much it would help me even if one or two decide to do this. You will make my day. NAFLD is a huge issue of increasing concern. If you can take part, I ask you kindly to please do the study. If you have any questions you can ask me. Thanks, John.
