Our Study

 

This study will help us to understand how older adults who have home care aides prepare for disasters.

This is important because older adults who have home care aides need more assistance during a disaster than older adults who do not receive home care services.

Our goals 

1. To learn who older adults believe should be responsible for preparing them for a disaster.

2. To learn the reasons older adults who have home care aides choose to prepare or not prepare for a disaster.
