We know life is busy. To help, we’ve changed the questions in the DoMore study online (crowdsource) workshop to make it quicker and easier to share your views. There are only two questions now:
What helps or stops young people with disabilities from moving more?
Is it important for young people with disabilities to move more – why do you think this?

We will be closing the first step of our co-design soon, so if you haven't taken part yet - get contributing!

DoMore Study
What is the DoMore study?
The DoMore study aims to find new ways to help children and young people with long-term disabilities, who are unable to walk, to move more in their daily routines. The programme will be co-designed, by working in partnership with young people who use a wheelchair (aged 12-25), family members of young wheelchair users, professionals and experts. They will participate in a series of online workshops involving anonymous online conversations. There will also be online focus groups. The researchers plan to include use of technology in the programme we develop together.
Why is the DoMore study being done?
Evidence suggests long periods of sedentary time can increase the risk of poor health, for example obesity, heart disease and type II diabetes. Being sedentary means sitting or lying down whilst awake, and not using much energy. Reducing sedentary time can help to prevent poor health. Research shows that children with disabilities spend more time being sedentary than children who don’t have a disability. Currently, there are no evidence-based programmes to help young people with disabilities to reduce their sedentary time. This one will be the first of its kind.
