State of Suffering 2024

In this new report, we are looking to bring together research from multiple disciplines, stories and datasets to look at the causes, dynamics and research questions most pertinent to human suffering.

About the project

Starting point

We know from our work that pain and suffering is researched in many silos, and this report seeks to bring them together. In doing so, we hope to convene a new multidisciplinary research network focused on the most important questions facing those who experience, or are at risk of experiencing, intense suffering.

Open invitation to collaborate

Each chapter in the report will be a collaboration with a researcher, research team, clinician or charity. Email info@alleviatesuffering.org.uk to discuss contributing a chapter or supporting our work with your time and skills

What we will do with the report

Alleviate will use the report to make connections and convene researchers, services, clinicians and citizens around a common vision for how we can bring more rigour and care to how we understand, prevent, and care for those experiencing intense suffering and its ramifications.
