Objectives
Objectives of the research theme Healthy Ageing in Society are to conduct research
-
on healthy ageing, where ageing is seen to start at the time of conception
-
on health ageing in society, i.e. at
-
macro-level (population or region)
-
meso-level (institutions such as family or care institutions)
-
micro-level (individuals)
-
driven by theoretical frameworks on subjective well-being and ageing, the cultural meaning of ageing, family care
-
within a comparative framework: projects are conducted in The (northern) Netherlands and Asia (Pakistan)
-
applying both quantitative and qualitative research methods such as population register data; surveys; in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and observation
-
focusing -besides academic output- on translation of research into policy and intervention.
PRC Groningen took the initiative for and is one of the three research collaborators in the research programme Healthy Ageing: Population and Society (HAPS), a collaboration between PRC Groningen, Dept of Epidemiology at UMCG and Dept of Sociology at the UoG .
