Quoting "Hoffman-Hussain, Candace" <[log in to unmask]>: Dear Candace, Congratulations! You have done very well. I am not sure that I can help you any further but if it is possible for you not to feel too pressured by your supervisors so much the better. I am sure you already have a lot of fascinating stuff ti analyse. I did small undergraduate study on the view of carers of people diagnosed with a psychiatric illness about their views of statutory services. In the three interview I was able to undertake the findings were confirmed by a much more experienced researcher.
