An African Health Needs Assessment has been commissioned by the Department of Health (DoH) and is being led by the Terrence Higgins Trust and a number of other partners.
Although The Terrence Higgins Trust is an HIV charity, this part of the project is a more general assessment of health needs of specifically Black African people living in the UK.
All of this will be fed back to the DoH to help them shape their funding and resources to ensure they meet the needs of UK citizens.
Questions will revolve around how people find good and bad about life and how health fits into that. The results are all completely anonymous.
The Terrence Higgins Trust are able to pay for transport to groups taking part in the focus groups, and possibly even put food on.
For further information and to take part in the focus group, contact Neil Thornely, on 0782 488 2304, or email: [email protected].
