[MODERATOR APPROVED] Department for Transport commissioned research into the financial impact of road traffic collisions. We want to hear about your experiences!
Hi r/ukbike ,
My name is Lexie and 'm a researcher at social research agency Revealing Reality. We’re working on a project for the Department of Transport about people's experiences following road traffic collisions, with particular focus on the financial costs.
As part of this research, we’re looking to speak with people who have personally experienced a road traffic collision, or whose child has been involved in one, to deepen understanding of the shorter and longer-term impacts of these incidents. The aim is to better understand the hidden costs involved in these incidents and offer the government policy advice on how to better support those involved.
At the moment, we have primarily heard stories from car-users, so it would be great to include the perspective of cyclists as well
Taking part would involve an audio-recorded conversation with one of our trained researchers, lasting up to two hours in your home, or wherever you feel most comfortable, at a time that suits you. We of course realise that talking about your experiences can be distressing and difficult, and so the conversation would be conducted flexibly and you would be able to take a break or withdraw from the research at any time. Anything you tell us will be pseudonymised as well and we will not collect any personal data.
As a thank you for taking part, we offer £100.
