There is currently no data on the milieu location of NAFLD/NASH patients worldwide. However, these can be important elements for motivating, target group-specific communication that is intended to bring about lasting lifestyle changes. In particular, the communication strategies to increase awareness and adherence are the focus of our interest.

Together with a team of medical experts and the Sinus Institute, a questionnaire was drawn up that enables the clustering of the NAFLD/NASH population examined with similar attitudes, values ​​and lifestyles through a so-called milieu localization.

The participating patients were selected and cared for by our medical cooperation partners.

After the survey has been completed, the Sinus-Institut will carry out an evaluation and a joint workshop with all those involved in the project on the results obtained.

We are actively supported in this project by Prof. Canbay (Bochum), Prof. Geier (Würzburg), Prof. Hofmann (Berlin), Prof. Schattenberg (Mainz), Prof. Teufel (Mannheim) and the SINUS Institute.

Our sponsors include Pfizer, Gilead and NovoNordisk.

The recruitment for the milieu study is completed, analysis is ongoing.
