Extracts from the interviews can be seen on the websites from the www.dipexinternational.org collaboration which publishes analyses and many thousands of video and audio interview clips on country specific web platforms. The UK branch of the collaboration has been operating for over a decade and currently includes broad based samples of qualitative interviews with patients about their experiences of over 80 health problems. The research has demonstrated that people living with chronic pain are increasingly using the web to find information, support and practical advice for self-management and also for reassurance, encouragement, to compare experiences of treatment and to offer advice and support to others.
