The SIPS Junior research trial is underway, and the team are seeking to recruit sessional workers for part of the study.
The SIPS Junior research programme will provide estimates of the level of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems in adolescents attending Emergency Departments (EDs). It will also develop, implement and evaluate screening and alcohol interventions for adolescents in the ED setting. Funding was awarded by the Department of Health National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to a consortium of research centres led by the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP), King's College London.
As part of the programme, 10 sessional Research Workers are needed to work in London Emergency Departments (King’s College Hospital, St George’s Hospital, Lewisham Hospital, St Thomas’ Hospital) between 8am until 4pm or 4pm until midnight recruiting 10 to 17 year olds into the study for the period of three months (September-November 2012).
