COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Study
Volunteer participants wanted for our qualitative work!!!
It’s that time of the project!
We are looking for people aged over 50 who live in Scotland to participate
in an interview or focus group of around 1 hour.
We aim to explore how concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic can impact
the way people aged over 50 make decisions on a day-to-day basis.
The interviews and focus groups will be conducted by both a co-researcher and a member of the academic team and it will be mostly conversational.
We encourage prospective volunteers to contact our team members via email:
