The research question
Which parts of living with a condition matter most to patients, and where does current care fall short?
Proposed design
Semi-structured interviews with a purposively selected adult sample, a shared discussion guide and a documented coding plan.
Illustrative design: one interview per participant with optional follow-up; setup and recruitment are scoped separately.

Planned outputs
