LongSTEPPP Project

LongSTEPPP stands for the Longitudinal Study of Teenagers with Endometriosis, Period and Pelvic Pain in Australia and is a 5-year study starting in 2022. 

We believe that period and pelvic pain can be managed to prevent chronic pain and endometriosis.

Recruitment for LongSTEPPP is now open. To see if you’re eligible, please answer a few short questions on our LongSTEPPP Pre-Screening questionnaire.

Vax4Youth GP Survey

An important issue that arose during COVID was young people 12 to 17 years seeking vaccination without their parents’ consent. We would value your thoughts to explore this important issue so we can understand the clinical, ethical and legal implications for healthcare providers, young people and their parents.

Supporting young people to make decisions for their own healthcare and understanding when they have the maturity to do so is an issue faced by healthcare providers. What support and guidance is available to General Practitioners? How best can clinicians be supported in this area?
