Allies in Health – Health and Adult Development lab UCB

As a research student for the UBC Allies in Health study, directed by Dr. Christiane Hoppmann.  We are trying to recruit volunteers for our online study, where we are aiming to learn more about how two people (family/friends/spouses/neighbours) can help promote each other’s health behaviours. Given our lab’s focus on older adults, our main volunteer criteria are that at least one of the two participants must be 60 years or older.

I am reaching out to ask if you might be able to share our study’s information with your senior members with via email, social media post, or newsletter.  

I have attached a link to our website and Facebook page, for more information.
