Although inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) significantly impact the patient's quality of life, no European-level data exists on patients’ perspectives. The primary objective of this survey was to obtain an international perspective of the impact of IBD on patients’ lives. Secondary objectives included obtaining a better understanding of the quality of care, access to care, and differences between countries, age groups, and sub-groups of IBD.
The European Summer Camp, or “ESC”, project ran in 2010 and 2011.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) significantly impact the lives of patients. The European Federation of ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Associations (EFCCA) undertook a pan-European patient survey assessing the perspectives of IBD patients about their disease and its impact on their lives, relationships and careers. The project has been supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott.
