Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University are conducting research in collaboration with Alex TLC to understand parents’ experiences of having a child diagnosed with Childhood Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CCALD). The study is a first of it’s kind and will help to provide evidence towards Newborn screening for ALD. It is a valuable study with the results providing a good opportunity to improve the circumstances for other families. The results will directly feed into initiatives to improve diagnosis and access to treatments for ALD patients.
The study is still recruiting for participants to take part (May 2022).
