Exiting Surveillance From Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening: The Views of Clinicians, and Men in Surveillance and Their Family Members
This paper presents the perspectives of men with experience of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surveillance, and some of their family members. One member of the research team, who is also a co-author on this paper, is a man who was diagnosed with an AAA. He actively contributed to the design and delivery of the study as co-applicant on the funding grant. He also attended monthly project meetings where decisions were made about how best to conduct the research. We set up a new Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Panel made up of men who had experienced AAA screening, including four who were diagnosed with AAA. This panel met eight times throughout the project to ensure that the interview invitations and the topic guide were appropriate; to interpret the findings; and to advise on dissemination strategies.
