| Annotation | Public priorities for scientific research into ageing are assessed. The research looks at: what the public sees as the main current and future problems for older people; the assumptions upon which the public bases its decisions about priorities for scientific research in this area; how the public prioritises ageing research against scientific research in other areas; and the public's views of the issues surrounding the feed-through of scientific research outputs to healthcare policy. The research programme comprised qualitative research at three public workshops held in Sutton, Stirling and Cardiff in March 2006; and a large-scale quantitative survey of behaviour, attitudes and opinions among 2,162 members of the general public across 212 UK sampling points in May 2006. This report presents key findings, methodology and analysis of the qualitative and quantitative stages. Overall, the research demonstrates that although ageing and research into ageing may not be uppermost in people's minds, there is strong support for such research. The outcomes of the consultation will inform BBSRC's and MRC's remits on ageing research under the auspices of Research Councils UK. (RH). |
