Help Needed with Questionnaire Development (3)
----------------------------------------------

Dear Abdellatif,

We (Palm Foundation and Burnet Institute) are collaborating in a
project to address the health and well-being of older people and
their families in the tea estate sector in Sri Lanka.

Last year we conducted a questionnaire survey. We developed the
questionnaire after wide consultation and qualitative studies.
The questionnaire addresses all the topics of interest that you
mention, and although it was long (it took approximately 40 min-
utes to administer) it was acceptable to almost all the older
people interviewed - in fact many were pleased to be having some
attention paid to their problems.

I will send you a copy of the questionnaire which may be helpful
to you in developing your own.

Best wishes

Wendy
