Musculoskeletal conditions in underserved populations
Musculoskeletal
Cross-sectional face-to-face survey and qualitative interviews. Participants will be approached at their homes and invited to complete a face-to-face survey on their doorstep. The survey will take no more than 20 minutes and will be administered by trained interviewers using a handheld tablet. Interviewers will first confirm eligibility, targeting adults aged 18 years and over. Participants will be asked to provide informed consent for their survey responses to be linked to their medical records. This linkage will enable a follow-up review of their medical records, which will occur between one and two years after the initial survey completion.
