Frequently asked questions

Q: My friend would love to join the project. Could you please send her a survey?

A: We are frequently asked if we can accept new participants to join the project. Unfortunately this is not possible. The longitudinal nature of the project means we must follow the health and lifestyles of the originally selected participants.

Q: I am travelling at the moment. Can the survey be sent to me overseas?

A: Yes. If you have a stable mailing address, we are happy to post the survey overseas, or to an Australian contact. Please contact us to arrange your mail redirection.

 

Fifth Survey for Mid-aged Women

Q: How do I fill in the questions about fruit and vegetables on page 20? I only eat certain ones when they are in season.

A: We ask that you average the number of times you eat these foods over the whole year. If you eat less than 52 servings of that food over a year, you should answer 'less than once a week'.

 

Q: Question 51 on Page 15. It asks if any of these events have happened 'more than 12 months ago'. What if it happened 25 years ago?

A: You should answer 'yes' for that item.

 

Q: I just an an operation 6 weeks ago and my health isn't as it would normally be. Should I answer for how I really am now or for what I'm usually able to do?

A: You should answer for how your health is NOW. Perhaps you would like to add a comment on the back page about why your answers are so different this time.
