Dianne Legge from the Institute of Health & Biomedical Innovation at Queensland University of Technology, is doing a study as part of a Masters of Applied Science (Research) into how people adapt to living with a low-grade glioma.

Dianne is interested in talking to males and females over the age of 18, who have been diagnosed with a low-grade glioma more than 3 months ago (and not more than 10 years ago).

Participants will be asked to take part in a 60-90 minute interview at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre. Melbourne. (Telephone interviews may be an option).

What is it like to be diagnosed with a low-grade glioma? How do you adapt to this change in your life? Or how do you make sense of your experience?

This study aims to understand the ways people with a low-grade glioma adapt to their illness, what resources they use and how they cope.... Participants will be asked to take part in a  60-90 minute interview with research interviewer, Dianne Legge at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre.  To register your interest or learn more, please contact Dianne Legge on 03 9496 3315 or dianne.legge@hdr.qut.edu.au .  This study is being undertaken by Dianne Legge as part of a Masters of Applied Science (Research) at Queensland University of Technology, and has been approved by Austin Health Human Research Ethics Committee Reference Number HREC/16/Austin/184.
