Skip to main content The research study aims to improve how endometriosis is identified and diagnosed in adolescents. Young people often experience symptoms for years before receiving answers, which can affect their health, schooling, and quality of life. This project explores whether imaging can support earlier and more accurate diagnosis, while also gathering the perspectives of adolescents, parents, and clinicians to understand what works well and what needs improvement.
Who can participate?
You may be eligible to participate if you are:
- Aged 14-25
- Experience pelvic pain
Live in South Australia
OR
- A parent of an adolescent experiencing pelvic pain
Live in South Australia
OR
- A clinician (GPs, sonographers, OBGYNs etc.) who works with those who experience pelvic pain.
What does the research involve?
Participants will be asked to participate in a one-hour workshop to share their experiences with pelvic pain or possible endometriosis and give ideas on how to improve diagnosis and care. Participants will be paid for their time. The workshop is safe, confidential, and designed to be comfortable and supportive for everyone involved.
