Age Scotland asks people to complete online survey

8 June 2012

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Glasgow Caledonian University are working with Age Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service to get a better understanding of the causes of outdoor falls. 
Researchers hope that, in the longer term, they will be able to look at changes in the outdoor environment that might make it a safer - and importantly - more pleasant place to be active and enjoy life.
As part of activities during National Falls Awareness Week (18-22nd June), researchers are attempting to establish a clearer picture of falls ‘hot-spots' outdoors across Scotland.
If you've had an outdoor fall in the last year, the researchers would be grateful if you would complete the brief online survey available here.  It will only take a few minutes and the survey is completed anonymously.
Further information on the current research being undertaken by the two Universities can be found on the GoFar website, a link to which is available here.
