Children Pain Assessment Study

I am running a study whose sole objective is to identify pain levels in children. To gain a well-rounded view, I will rely on three complementary techniques:

• Surveys and questionnaires
• Observational studies
• Physiological measurements

I need someone who can help turn these methods into a practical, ethically sound protocol, guide data collection, and analyse the results. That means crafting child-friendly survey items, setting up unobtrusive observation guidelines, choosing and calibrating physiological indicators, and making sure every step respects current paediatric research standards.

Deliverables I expect:
• A ready-to-implement study protocol with consent and assent materials
• An anonymised, well-organised dataset covering all three measurement streams
• A concise analytical report that explains findings and highlights patterns in pain perception

If you have previous experience with mixed-method paediatric research, please share a brief example of your work and outline how you would approach this project.
