Question pretext
Hello, I am [...] from the African Population and Health Research Center. We are conducting a survey to better understand the health and wellbeing of older people in this community. Specifically we would like to know about your health, the care and support you provide and your general life situation. This study is a follow up to the interviews we had with you between 2006 and 2008. The questions we will ask are similar to the ones we asked in the previous interviews except for a few changes. We are interviewing you again so we can determine if your situation has changed since the last time you were interviewed. All the responses you provide are confidential and will be used for purposes of this study only. This interview is not expected to cause you any harm or discomfort. However, if you feel uncomfortable with certain questions you can choose not to answer them. We, however hope you will participate in this study since your views are very important. You will neither be paid nor pay us to participate in this study. This interview will take about 30 minutes of your time.
