Hi Ricardo and Everyone,<br>
Happy new year!<br>
<br>
I’m looking at the thoughts submitted by the groups on the purpose
of the qualitative study and there seem to be some similarities
between them. I’m not sure what Susan and Afshin are thinking as
their results may be directing their thinking differently ... but
I’m sure we can sort something out. It seems as if there are some
common thoughts around determining how people perceive ‘aging
well’, a focus on function rather than diagnosis et cetera.<br>
<br>
I wondered if it might be possible to circulate the original
section about the qualitative study?<br>
<br>
I also wondered (and this is just a thought) if you might engage
the SB in development of the research questions for the
qualitative study? I’m not sure if you have been sharing
information all along or what is happening with them.<br>
Having their involvement at this stage could be very helpful and
strengthen the qualitative part of the work. Or - perhaps they
could participate in a focus group of some sort...there are many
possibilities.<br>
<br>
But first, perhaps revisiting what the proposal said it would do
might be wise, so that there is clear justification (to the
funder, the SB?) about any changes.<br>
<br>
A few thoughts and I look forward to listening to everyone’s views
tomorrow!<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Janet<br>
