Allies in Health\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are inviting older individuals with a study partner (e.g. a spouse, friend, neighbour) to participate in our Allies in Health study. The primary purpose of this study is to understand how social support plays a role in the everyday life of older adults including the impact on their health behaviours and goals set together with a study partner<\/span> in the current pandemic and beyond. The results of the study can provide insight into health promotion strategies that can be shared with older adults to maintain their well-being and achieve their goals in their day to day life. Please note, that this study includes COVID-related questions. Answers to these questions will help us understand the context of your other answers, but you can skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering.<\/p>\n

The Health and Adult Development Lab<\/strong><\/h1>\n

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.<\/p>\n
