Overview
The Study
The SEED-UK study aims to understand the nature of injuries sustained by e-scooter users, passengers, and bystanders. We are also examining the impact upon EDs these injuries are having. This study doesn’t involve any additional treatments or tests, and no extra questions other than those that your Doctor will ask you routinely.
The Data
We will collect data from your medical records about the injuries sustained and a few details about the accident. We will also record the investigations you had whilst in hospital and the diagnosis provided. We will not collect any personal information.
The Benefits
This research may be used to inform the impact of private and rental e-scooter usage upon the health system and the wider population as a whole. It may be used to inform public health messages around its use. It could also positively impact someone who comes to the hospital with an e-scooter injury.
The Results
The final outcomes from the study will be communicated via presentations in scientific meetings and by peer reviewed publications. We will aim to publish the results approximately 12 months after completion.
