We are excited and honoured to launch the findings of our latest research project, Entering Adulthood with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
The report has been written collaboratively, by Research Officer Dr Suzanne Glover, peer researchers with DMD and the knowledgeable academic steering group. You can read more about those involved in the full report.
The report talks about what it’s like entering adulthood when you live with DMD. This includes describing the changes people experience and, importantly, how it feels to go through these changes. It also highlights some of the common thoughts and feelings around barriers in society.
