Allies in Health Study

We are inviting older individuals together with a close other (e.g. a spouse, friend, neighbor) to participate in the Allies in Health Study. The primary purpose of this study is to understand how close others shape each other’s health behaviours, social interactions, and experiences in the current pandemic. The results of the study can provide insight into what older adults can do to maintain their well-being given the current circumstances. Please note, that this study includes COVID-related questions. Answers to this questions will help us understand the context of your other answers, but you can skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering.  

                                     

 

The Health and Adult Development Lab

The Health and Adult Development Lab is a health psychology laboratory located at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver). We conduct research that examines how social relationships and motivational processes shape well-being and health across the adult lifespan. We also look at how long-term changes in health influence and are influenced by close others such as spouses.

The primary investigator is Dr. Christiane Hoppmann (Health Psychology, UBC).
