Seeking Australians aged 50 and older for feedback to improve research on health ageing

The National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) is conducting an Australia-wide survey to validate a new version of the Healthy Ageing Quiz, which has been updated to include the most recent research on healthy ageing.

The Healthy Ageing Quiz is a user-friendly self-assessment tool that helps Australians aged 50 and older to increase their awareness of healthy ageing, and to maximise their current and future health.

NARI would like your help to promote and distribute the survey to older adults in your primary health network. Please visit the following link to indicate your interest in receiving hard copies of the survey, which can be placed in the waiting room or reception at your clinic/organisation: https://forms.gle/GVv54bzaE9cQs5Vd6 

If you are aged 50 or older, you are also invited to complete the survey yourself via the link: https://www.nari.net.au/HAQ-survey/

The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and you can go in the running to win one of three $40 Coles gift vouchers. The survey closes Saturday 31 July 2021.
