Quality of life and social support among older people from different ethnic groups GO Findings: 23 - Research Findings from the Growing Older Programme [authors: Jabeer Butt, Jo Moriarty, Michaela
Brockmann (et al)]
(October 2003)
This study set out to explore quality of life and social support among older people from different ethnic groups. The authors carried out in-depth interviews with 203 older people from Caribbean, Asian
(including Chinese), African and white communities aged 55 and over. The study suggests that ethnicity influences both collective and personal responses to perceptions of quality of life.
