“I Put a Lot of Emphasis on Work Because I Want to Keep My Job”: A Population‐Based Interview Study of Long Covid and Employment Changes in England
Members of the public who are part of a Public Advisory Group (PAG) have provided ongoing input into various aspects of the umbrella cohort study, the Real-time Assessment of Community Transmission (REACT) Study, including the study design, data collection instruments and dissemination of findings. For this qualitative study, which draws on interview data from REACT Long COVID (REACT-LC), preliminary findings were presented to the PAG for feedback and suggestions, which helped refine the discussion. Additionally, two Public Advisors with lived experience of long Covid contributed to the writing and editing of this manuscript. In accordance with these contributions, they are included as authors.
