THE ELDERLY IN THE COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY POPULATION.

A. Background to the research The study dlscussed In thlS paper, forms part of a larger programme of research deslgned to provlde lnformatlon and gUlde pOllCy wlth respect to soclal serVlce provlslon In rural area~ The research was conducted In Glyndwr and Melrlonnydd In North Wales and a detalled descrlptlon of the soclal and economlC characterlstlcs of the study area are presented In Worklng Paper No.22 . The study of the elderly in the communlty was conducted to complement research on the local soclal SerV1Ce teams and a survey of elderly soclal serVlce cllents. The maln focus of the study has been upon the soclal mllleu of the elderly, wlth partlcular emphasls on lnformal networks of support. ThlS paper p~ovldesthe demographlc background data to the core tOplCS of the survey. The data have been collected In elght rural communltles, selected to represent the full range of settlement types In the area (H. Wllllams,

1976) and to reflect both hlgh and low relatlve pro~'ortlons of Welsh speakers and hlgh and low relatlve proportlons of lncomers. The communltles have been descrlbed In more detall elsewhere (WP.16). They lnclude the small seaslde resorts of Tywyn and Aberdovey and the lnland market town of Bala, together wlth the vlllages of Bryncrug, Llanarmon-yn-Ial, Llandegla and Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant and thelr rural hlnterlands and the extremely scattered upland parlsh of Llanycll.

B. Methodology. The research was conducted In two maJor phases In Phase I a door-to-door census of occupled households, uSlng ratlng assessors' llStS was conducted ThlS method was chosen because experlence had shown that electoral reglsters and general practltloners' reglsters 2 are frequently out of date or, ln the case of the former, do not always lnclude all the resldent elderly. Phase I made lt posslble to collect mlnlmal data on all the elderly so that any subsequent sample could be checked for sampllng error. Data were ellclted on age, sex, rnarltal status, place of blrth, length of co~unlty resldence and whether or not Welsh speaklng This last was lmportant so that steps could be taken to ensure that all those who spoke Welsh would subsequently be approached by a blllngual lntervlewer so that the intervlew could be conducted ln the language of the respondent's cholce. In effect, 82% of Welsh speakers were intervlewed elther wholly ln Welsh (74%) or at least half ln Welsh (8%) as they chose. A Phase II sanple was selected from the Phase I data. In this case, one person from each elderly household was selected ln all communlt1es except Bala, Tywyn and Aberdovey, where 50% of elderly households were lncluded. The sample was randomlsed for sex and the resultant sample and responding sample checked for representat1veness against the Phase I data. Phase II conslsted of 1ntervlews in the respondent's own home, following a quest10nna1re schedule (Appendlx I). Both Phase I and Phase II data were elic1ted by interv1ewers recruited and tralned by the research team. Before each phase a day's tralning seSSlon was conducted for lnterv1ewers 1n an effort to standard1ze as far as poss1ble lnterpretat10n and recording techn1ques. Interv1ewers were pa1d hourly, lncluding travel and clerlcal t1me, plus a m1leage allowance, Slnce 1t was felt that the nature of the terraln and the character1stlcs of the sample populatlon were such that this method of payment would ensure both equ1ty and quallty of returns. The performance of 1nterv1ewers as reflected 1n the high standard of returns and the hlgh response rate (87%), it was felt fully Justlf1ed thlS decls10n. 3

Th1s paper presents the demograph1c data from Phase II and prov1des the necessary background to tOP1C papers wh1ch are ~ore central to the rna 1n purpose of the research "The El derly 1n the Community' Mob111ty and Access to Serv1ces" (WP No. 16),1 "The El derly 1n the Communl ty: Faln11y Contacts, SOC1 a1 Integrat10n and Commun1ty Involvement" (WP. No. 18) and "The Elderly 1n the

COmnUn1ty' Morale, Isolat1on and Lone11ness (forthco~1ng). The paper 1S 1ntended pr1mar11y as 1nformat10n and d1scussion has been 11m1ted to be presented 1n other contexts. However, where poss1ble compar1sons are made w1th recent data from more uroan Br1t1sh populat10ns pr1marily Hunt, 1978, and other stud1es.

C. General Demography and Household Compos1t10n 1. Age. In any cons1derat10n of the elderly population, 1t must be borne 1n m1nd that the age group from s1xty-five to those over n1nety 1ncludes two generations. Th1S fact was brought home quite V1V1dly by a women of 68 1n one of the study commun1t1es who ment10ned that her mother had been 1nterv1ewed the prev10us week. When the f1gures are d1saggregated, as when deal1ng with small settlements, Var1at10n becomes more apparent and 1t 1S evident that w1thin the population small enclaves of comparable age exist. The hamlet of Cwrt outs1de Aberdovey and the V111age of Llandegla are examples, where 53% and 48% of the elderly population are over e1ghty and 1n Tywyn the new bungalow estates have a h1gher proport10n of the young elderly who have Just ret1red. Both of these factors are important 1n terms of informal care (discussed elsewhere) because 1t means that ava11able carers

1ncrease in age at t~e same rate as the care needers. To expect a daughter to care for a mother of n1nety is not the same expectat10n as when the mother 1S seventy, the second mother could be the daughter of the f1rst~ Often respondents commented that the1r neighbours were very good to them adding "of course, we're none of us gett1ng any younger". The broad range of age in the elderly populat10n 1S therefore 1mportant and should be kept 1n mind 1n all d1Scuss10n. While the age d1stribut1on approx1mates the nat10nal d1str1bution (Table lh 1t should be borne 1n m1nd that the proport1on of the total populat10n over the age of 65 1S h1gher 1n the rural areas. Based on 1971 f1gures provided by the County Counc1ls, w1th the except10n of Llanyc1l at 17% all the study commun1t1es had h1gher proport10ns of the populat1on over •pensionable age than the 17% UK m1d-year est1mate for 1971 issued by the Registrar-General (Social Trends, 1980, Table 3 9., P 98) • INSTRUCTIONS TO INTE~VIE'ERS

Any querles or problems WhlCh come up that are not explalned here, please contact Dr Clare Wenger or Mrs Angie Rowlands at Bangor 51151. Ext.449 or Dr. Wenger at home. Prestatyn 4842

P SMPLE LIST Communlty Sample 1. Based on Phase I we plan to interview one person from each household where there is anyone aged 65 or older in Llanarmon-yn-Ial. Llandegla. Llanrhaeadr-yn-Mochnant. Bryncrug and the Pennal/Cwrt dlstrict of Tywyn community and a 50% sample of househoids in Bala. Tywyn and Aberdyfi A master list of this complete sample will be kept at the office in Bangor

2. Where it is possible the same interviewer wlll be asked to contact those respondents they interviewed in Phase I. Obviously. because of the numbers lnvolved. this wlll not be possible in all cases, but for those who lnterviewed on Phase I of the proJect, the likelihood is that they wlll be re-visitlng people with whom contact has already been made

3 Interviewers wlll be fUr'll shed with batches of up to ten Phase I completed forms, together wlth Interviewer L1StS of the names and addresses involved A copy of each Intervlewer List will be kept at the offlce in Bangor The name of the person to be ,nterv,ewed is underlined in red

4. The Interviewer L1StS have columns for the recordlng of the outcome of attempts to contact the respondents and these lists will be returRee-t~ Gc/~L~C ~ wltn the relevant completed quest,onna,res It 15 lmportant that these records are kept accurately as they will form a part of our daca

5 In the rlght hand column. interviewers are asked to comment on the dispositlon of the contact. and you are urged to fill thlS 1'1 as fully as posslble

6. Inltially, each interviewer will be issued with one batch only of Phase I forms When f,ve or SlX interviews have been completed. you are asked to send the completed questlonnaires to Bangor in the envelope provlded so that they may be checked. Any querles will be returned to you for clarlficatlon and any mlsunderstandings will hopefully be cleared up before we continue.

7. Intervlewers wlll subsequently be sent two Intervlewer Lists. i e two batches of Phase I forms. As one list is completed lt should be returned to Bangor with the quest,onnalres and another list will automatically be sent to that lnterviewer. This procedure has been devised as same lntervlewers have more time and therefore will work more qUickly than others This method should avoid delays and give us an idea of how thlngs are gOlng

8. Same of the Phase I forms give ages as 60 plus or over 60. In these instances. the forms have been marked "if 65 plus". In other words. ascertaln whether or not the person is 65 before commencing On the lnterview If the person indlcated is under 65 but another household member is 65+. then an interview will be conducted wlth the older person.

9. In same lnstances. inevltably we wlll flnd that the person to be inter- vlewed has died. moved or is in hosPltal since Phase I. In mses of thlS type it should be ObV10US from the form lf there are other household members who are over 65. usually the ~idow of the deceased. In cases of this type. try to intervlew the survivor unless. of course. the bereaverent 15 so recent as to make thlS insensitlve In o~stances. where the surviving household members consist of one or more over the age of 65 I leave it to your discretion as to who is interviewed. but where someone over 65 remains in the household. every attempt should be made to secure an interview. -2- C11ent Survey

10 Not all 1nterv1ewers w111 be involved 1n the C11ent Survey

11 Interv1ewers 1nvolved in the C11ent Survey w111 be sent separate lists of Social Serv1ce clients and they will follow a similar· procedure to that adopted for use with the Community Sample

12. Where a respondent has already been 1nterv1ewed in the community sample, this w111 be indicated on the list and only the section of the questionnaire relevant to Soc1al Services need be completed

B. QUESTIONNAIRES.

1. The questionnaires for the Study of the Elderly in the Commmunity are printed on green paper. Quest,0nna,res for the sample of Social Serv1ce C11ents are pr1nted on blue paper

2. When ind1viduals occur in both samples the commun1ty study questionnaire will be completed first and subsequently that part of the C11ent Quest10nnaire which refers to Soc1al Services w111 also be completed. Subsequently. 1nformat10n from those other sect10ns of the Questionna1re which are s1milar w111 be transferreo from the Community Sample to the Client Sample Quest10nna1re. In other words. two complete quest1onna1res w111 be f111ed 1n where a respondent 1S a member of both samples

3. Those supplementary quest10ns. wh1ch do not occur on the green quest,0nna,re. are irtl1cated on the blue questionnaire by 8 bracket round the number

4. In the initial interview1ng for Phase II you need not be concerned about the cl1ent survey as this will be starting ~dter and those of you who w111 be 1nvolved will be contacted then. These instructions are included so that when that project begins, you will understand the procedure.

5. Proxies It is our 1ntention to complete an interview in every household listed on the IntBrv1ewer Lists if there are any surviv1ng household members who are aged 65 or more. As noted above where the person to be interv1ewed has died or become hospital1sed since Phase I. try to interv1ew their spouse or other elderly household member. In some instances the person to be interviewed may be unable to respond because of ill he8lth. If this is so. try to find a proxy who will answer quest10ns on behalf of the elderly person concerned In many cases th1s might be another adult member of the household. However, in some cases, a household member may not be available In these instances, 1t may be that a relat1ve l,ves near by or a ne1ghbour may be able to answer most of the quest,0ns for you Obv1ously. in US1ng ne1ghbours as proxies, some caution must be exerc1sed Please 1ndicate in the interviewer's report who the proxy was. When uS1ng proxies. it is obvious that attitudinal quest10ns, that is those that ask people how they feel about cert8in things. can very rarely be asked. The Morale Scale cannot be used with proxies. However. some questions of a subject1ve nature. such as whether the elderly person is ever lcnely may 1n some instances be 8nswered by close relatives. Since the total quest,0nna,re will be marked as a proxy interview. we leave it to your discret10n on wh1ch quest10ns you include. Most of the quest10ns will be fairly straightforward and all you will need to do 1S to mod1fy the pronouns and ask. for instance. how long has he or she 11ved 1n th1s house' does she have any heat1ng 1n her bedroom' etc.

6. Short Form You will note that at the end of the Questionnaire in the Interv1ewer's Report. you are asked to ind1cate whet~er the 1nterview has been conducted on the long or the short form. The short form of the interview w111 be used where there are conditions which preclude the use of the long form For 1nstance where a respondent is hard of hear1ng. 1S confused or is well eno~gh only to answer a limited number of questions. The quest10ns to be selected for a -3- short IntervIew are marked wIth an asterIsk. In some Instances. the IntervIew wlll have been started uSlng the long form and lt wlll only beco~e apparent when the IntervIew 15 halfway through that the IntervIewee 15 not able to answer all of the quest,ons In these cases change to the short form and mark the approprlate box in the Interviewer Report for short form In the vast majority of cases the long form of the lntervlew will be posslble and it is probably worth attempting a long interview even if sCbsequently a short interview takes place.

7. You will note that throughout the questionnalre instructions to interviewers are in capitals. These obviously are not read out but are there to guide you. You will also notice that we want the respondent's comments as well as the gross coding categories WhlCh we have lndlcated. These comments are very important because they are the fleshing out of the bare bones of the data and enable us to have a clearer picture of the respondent's outlook. They are also very important when we come to writing up our results because we can then give verbatim quotes and anecdotal lllustrations of the kinds of problems that we will be discussing

8 Referring now to the questionnalre. In questions 1 and 2 and several subsequent questions, you wlll note that we ask for the place and county. In these instances, fill ln the exact place and then subsequently code the place ln the boxes provlded as follows

01. Same Dlstrlct Council Area 02 Same County 03. Clwyd 04 Gwynedd 05 Dyfed and Powys 06 Other Wales 07. Wales,unspeclfied 08. Border Counties (Cheshlre, Hereford. Shropshire, Worcester). 09 South-West (Avon, Cornwall. Devon, Somerset). 10. South/South-East (Berkshire, Buckingham, Dorset. Essex, Hampshire. Hertford, Isle of Wight. Kent, Oxford, Surrey. Sussex). 11. North-West (Greater Manchester [Bury, Rochdale. Tameside, Oldham, Trafford. Bolton, salford, Stockport, Wlgan, Manchester?, Lancashire. Stafford. Merseyside LKnowsley, St. Helens.

Foreign. -4- 9 As far as possIble you should ask the questIon WhIch 15 ~rlntad on the questIonnaIre Otherw1s81 if you Interpret the questIon In your own way we may have a sltuatlon where the ,nterv,ewees are not all answerlng the same quest,on. However. in some instances. ObVlously some leeway lS allowed It is most lmportant to ask the exact questlon where we are looklng for people's feelings and attitudes. partlcularly for lnstance in the Morale Scale. which lS Question No.30, but with other questions it is anticipated that intervlewers will use their common sense. I thlnk a general ruleof thumb might be to ask the questlon as lt is wrltten except in those instances where sensitlvlty dictates that the question be modi fled to meet the presenting clrcumstances And the same goes for Introductory Comments at the beglnnings of new sections such as for instance. "Now, just a few short questions about _your health".

10 Welsh Intervlews A standardised Welsh translation of the questionnalre is being provided for every lnterviewer and it is essentlal that all bi-lingual inter­ viewers familiarise themselves very well wlth the standard translatlons. ThlS is of course for the S1>11e reason as we ask you to read the question as it is prlnted on the questlonnaire 1 e We want all intervlewees to be asked the same questlons Since it lS unllkely that any intervlew will be conducted entlrely in Welsh - some topics belng more approprlately discussed in English, for eX1>11ple, sources of income. ­ we have not duplicated a totally bl-lingual questionnaire Our assumptlon lS that the intervlewer will translate lnto Welsh where and when this lS appropriate. So make sure that you know what the standard translation lS For the flrst few Welsh interviews it might help to keep the translatlon available, subsaquently you will flnd that you remember very well Here agaln you 101111 note that ln the Interviewer Report at the end of the questionnalre, you are asked to lndlcate whether the lntervlew has been conducted Wholly or m81nly in Engllsh. wholly or malnly ln Welsh or ln both languages "Both" lndlcates that substantlal portlons of the questlonnalre were conducted ln both Engllsh or Welsh

11. It lS suggested that the front page of the questlonnalre with the Intervlewee's n1>11e and address be already ~olded back before the intervlew beglns.

12 You will notice as you go through the questionnaire that in several questlons you are asked to glve the first n1>11es of helpers of the elderly We are asklng for first names only, to preserve the confidentiallty of the lntervlew, However. we want to know the names so that we can subsequently plot the extent of the carlng networks WhlCh provlde support for our respondents Please make sure when you record these first n1>11es that you lndicate if the same name applles to more than one person i.e. If they have a sister and a daughter wlth the same n1>11e put S,S for slster or Dau for daughter in parenthesis when you use the n1>11e If respondents want to know why we are asklng for the first names of people you could probably explain to them that we just want to know whether lt is the same person that lS prOViding help ln more than one category. In some questlons the answer mlght be voluntary visitor. home help or district nurse, ln WhlCh case the respondent may not know the flrst name of the helper. In these lnstances. since these are off,c,al personnel. 1t would be appropriate to record "Mrs Jones - Home help" etc In many instances. more than one flrst n1>11e will need to be recorded. For lnstance. lt may be that different peoole help with the shopping on dlfferent days or under dlfferent clrcumstances. Try to prompt to flnd out if thlS is the case Dbvlously. since we are lnterested in the full extent of the support networks of the elderly. the quallty of your records 101111 be critical in thls part of the lnterview The S1>11e names 101111 of course recur ln many of the questions where flrst names are a-sked for.

13. The recordlng of flrst names for a measure of support networks is one of three composlte measures which are lncorporated into the quest,onna,re The other two are an Isolatlon Measure and a Lonellness Measure Where approprlate, certaln codes have a box beslde them. ThlS lS marked elther IM for Isolatlon Measure or L.M. for Lonellness Measure. A tick should be placed ln thlS box when the code adjacent to it 15 used. Subsequently. the coder 101111 go through the questlonnalres and compute the composlte measure ,

GUIDE FOR AD::rNISTERVG THE C;1.GSUO',lU:rlE:

1. It 15 1mportent that no pages are lost from the quest1pnna1rcs ­ if the back pago/s become/s loose, 1t should be attached "1th a ." paper clip. 2. Check that all pegos are present - there sboulo be 14 - and after­ wards that all quest10ns have been answered. Some quest10nnairos are pr1ntod on both s1des of the paper and others are not. So you'll need to check the backs of tho pages.

3. Each quest10nna1re has a space in the top left hand corner of the page for the 1nterV1e"ers number. You "111 each be g1ven a number and that Y1ll be our record so you must remember to put 1t on so that you'll get pa1d for that quost10nna1re.

4. After the quest10nna1re has been completed, record the number on the saopla list in the top r1;ht hand corner and c1rcle 1t. Th1s is so that we have sooe cross-reference 1n case of confus1on and can f1nd fa01l1es wno are w1111n& to oe 1nterV1ewed further.

5. You w11l notice that there 1S an 1ntroduct10n pr1ntcd on tho quest10nnc1re. Th1S 15 meant Just as a GU1de and you needn't use 1t verbat1rn. You'll prooably mOQ1fy y,ur ~P?ronch dopond1ng on the 1nformant.

6. Throughout the quest10nna1rc there are 1nstruct10~S 1n block caps. for the 1nterv1ewer. Bo sure you understand these before you lenvc the or1cntat10n meot1n&'

We want to 1nterv1ew the head of housohold wherever poss1ble. Th1s w111 usually be the husband. Where both husband and ,~fe work or only the wifo yorks and there 1S a quest10n about who is the h8~d of the household, use the ch4ef breadW1nner as h. of h. Th1s also applies where you have adu:t brothcrs/s1sters l1v~ng together, if they are reluctant to name one as h. of h. - 8. If the head of household ca~~ot be 1nterv1eued. IntcrV1ew tho spouso or other adult member of the household - preferably the spouse where there is one. In th1S case, all quest10ns regard1ng employment Will be aSked as 1f referr1n& to the employment of the head of household, i.e. Q's 42-79; 81; 102 and 103. Quest10ns 104 and 105 refcr to whole household.

At the be~nn1ng of the quest10nnaire there is an unnUMbered set of eh010e8 -_head_of_household, spouse, other - for you to record Who vas 1nterv1ewed.

10. If you f1nd a fam11y W1th an unusual job pattern, e.g. part-t1me farming and a Job or double-Job hold1I1g by both husband and W1fe, ate ••, aek them if thoy would be Y1lling to be 1nterV1ewed aga1n. MaKe a note of t11s on the f1rst page (top).

------11. Some quest1.ons have the 1.nstruct1.on "\,/AIT FOR INITIAL RESPONSE BEF03E RE.ADIHG LIST." This 1.S to be sure the cbo1.ceB are not lead1.ng the 1.nformant. When they have sug~ested Borne reasonB, aBk wh1.ch 1.B the most 1.mportant, etc. L1.st tpe reasons 51.ven under "Other" 1.f they do not occur 1.n the list. When -they stop givine reaBonB, aBk "Any-th1.ng else?" Pause. Then read tbe list.

12. Some questions are what are called "open-ended" ques-tions. For these there are no Buggested answers and no code numbers to c1.rcle. Try to give the 1.nformant t1.me to th1.nk abou-t the quest1.on and try to get a proper Btatement rather than a one word answer.

13. The word "community" iB uBed in Borne quest1.0nB. This iB to be interpreted aB relating to the town or ~llage in which the interview 1.B taking place. You may subst1.tute the name of the Bpec1.fic commun1.ty if you th1.nk 1.t makeB the queBt1.0n easier for informants to understand, e.g. What do you th1.nk could be done to 1mprove Corr1.s?

14. Quest1.0nB 26 and 27 refer to -the possible advant~e of speaking Welsh 1.n Wales. These qucst10ns are to be 1.nterpreted generally, 1.e. not as they relate to the part1eular 1nformant, but as they relate to people and Jobs 1.n general.

15. In quest10n 34, 1.n the column headed "Employment" be eure to indicate full-t1.me, part-t1.me etc. rather than type of work.

16. Quest10n 40 may be mislead1.ng coaung after the quest1.on on full­ time edueat1.on. You should 1.ncludc also profeBs1.onal qual1.f1.cat1.ons received after school or other full-t1me educat1.on, e.g. 5 G.C.E's, 2 A levels, nurs1.ng d1.ploma. (Where poss1.ble spell out aB 1.ni-tials are Bomet1mes rather obscure.)

17. Question 42. It 1.B 1.mportant to read out the options here. Also remember that from here to Q 79, refer ~o the occupat1.on of -~he head of household.

18. If the answer to Q 42 iB "Retired" go ~o Q 51. ThiB obViously also applieB to the other categor1.es not currenUy working. However, be sure to fill in 1.nformat1.on on jobs of other adultB than ~he head of household, even 1.f the H. of H. iB not work1.ng, in quest1.ons 43 and 44. 19. Quest10n 55, obV1.ously, refers to people who are not work1.ng full-t1.me at preBent.

20. Quest10nB 97 and 98. These two quest1.ons are nesigned to determine a~t1.tudes towards women working. Only one B~atement should be choBen in Q 97. Even if there iB an easy choice in Q 97, Btill ask Q 98. 21. Question 102 if the head of household 1.B retired, th1.S should be answered in terms of pens1.on, other employment oomes under Q 103. 22. Question 105 referB to the aggregate household income.

23. QueBtionB 102-105 may be dl.ff1cult for people to anSlle:I" on a weekly baB1s. You may g1.ve o~her aggregates, i.e. monthly or annual 1.ncome, but please 1.ndl.cate which it iB. 24. Any informat~on g1ven dur1ng the 1nterview, wh1ch you feel is of interest to the total proJect, record or relate to me, because th1B will form part of the participet)on-observat~on data on the community. For instance, ~f you are told about changes in the Boc~al life of thB commun1ty due to m1grat~on or .!!!it ~nformat~on about employment.

SOCIAL SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS RESEARCH PROJECT.

Concern has been vOlced over the use of nelghbours~s proxles and the lssue of confldentlallty We have, therefore. prepared the followlng gUldellnes for the use of prOXles

1 Proxles may have to be used lf - the chosen respondent lS deaf, unable to speak, mentally or physlcally ill or temporarl1y ln hospltal.

2. In such cases. you will need to ask someone else to answer the questl0ns on behalf of the chosen respondent.

3 You wl11 need to explaln to the proxy that respondents are chosen at random and that you need lnformatl0n about all those ln the sample rather than able-bodled Substltutes. Explaln that we cannot flnd out about what problems eXlst lf we leave those wlth speclal problems out of our sample

4 The proxy should preferably be a member of the lntervlewee's household 1.e a relatlve or someone who takes care of them

5. Wherever posslble try to get the chosen respondent's consent to the proxy.

6 In the case of chosen respondents who 11ve alone. you should attempt to flnd a relatlve ln the communlty

7 If no relatlve eXlsts, try to ascertaln who looks after the chosen respondent and use a short form questl0nnalre wlth the respondent's consent

8. NEIGHBOURS OTHER THAN THOSE TAKING CARE OF CHOSEN RESPONDENTS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS PROXIES

9. REPRESENTATIVES OF STATUTORY AGENCIES (HOME HELPS. SOCIAL WORKERS. DOCTORS ETC.) SHOULD NOT BE USED AS PROXIES.

F~ Dr. G. Clare Wenger. To ALL INTERVIEWERS.

15th Hay 1979.

The following pOlnts have arisen with regard to the admlnistration of the questionnalre and I thought I would brlng the~ to your attention DOW to help W1th subsequent lntervlewlng.

Those questions WhlCh ask where people were born or where they llved, etc., where you use the 11St of codes WhlCh were supplled in the Instructl0ns to Intervlewers, please be sure to use the first three codes. 1.e., Same communlty, same dlstrlct, same county, etc In other words, lf somebody was born ln Gwynedd and lives ln Gwynedd now, then you code for same county, you don't code for Gwynedd, and the same goes for Clwyd. You only code for Gwynedd lf the people are now l,v,ng ln Glynd~ and you only code for Clwyd lf the people are now 11vlng ln Melrl0nnydd I hope th,S lS clear. If you look at the codlngs, I thlnk you will understand better perhaps what I am talklng about, but I have notlced that several of you have coded for Clwyd or Gwynedd, rather than uSlng the codes for 'same county' or 'same d,str,ct' .

When a questlon talks about, or asks about 'Members of the same household', this refers to people who are livl0g in the same house as the respondent and not to members of the fam,ly who l~,n another house. Th,S seems to have led to a cectaln amount of confusl0n. For lnstaoce ln the 'car-ownership' qucstl0n, where people 11vlng alone have wentloned that a member of the household have a car, when what they really mean lS that thelr daughter across tbe road bas a car.

Q.6. Th,S question refers to the house that the person l,ves In. We want to know why tbe person chose that partlcular house and not the locallty, so that lt would be such thlngs as 'slze', 'near where thelr chlldren 11ved' or 'convenient 10catl0ns'. It could also be somethlng hke - ''In th"oe days, we wanted a very large kitchen" or lithe v1ew" or sorr.eth~ng l1ke that, but ~t does not refer to the communlty. There seems to be a certaln amount of confuslon ln completlng that questlon. Q.12. If people don't know how old their house lS, could you please est1ffiate. It doesn't have to be exact. You'll note that the questlon does ask for the 'approxlmate age' of houslng. But "don't know" lS not a suitable response here: ~. There lS no need to describe the various facl1lties if the respondent has the sole use of these facl1lties. Q.26. Dependency, in this questlon, refers to physlcal lncapabl11ty. It does not refer to f,nanc,al dependence. In otber words, a wlfe is not dependent on her husband if she 1S able-bod1ed. However, a very young chl1d (and We have had One or two instances where elderly fathers have very young ch11dren) would be consldered to be dependent on the lntervlewee. Q.27. Please be sure to complete b, c and d when the answer to 'a' lS Yes. -2-

Q.29. There lS no need to code the second part of th,S questlon lf the answer to the f,rst part lS 'No'. ** Q.57. ObVlously, lf people never travel on publlC transport, there is no pOlnt ln asklng whether they are sat!sf,ed-with It. Therefore if people don't use public transport, please code th,S questlon as -- - 'never use'. ------Qs. 60 and 61. These questlons must be coded for all respondents, even lf they are marrled. In other words, 1f you have a marrled couple where the respondent 1S seldom alone in the house, then you would code '0-3' ln Q.60. ~. Here again, please be sure to complete a and b lf the task presents any dlfficult at all.

Qs. 73 and 74. These questlons must be coded for all respondents. The maJorlty of course wlil be able to get out unasslsted and nelther a nor b wlil be appllcable ln Q.74, so you wlll code 'not appllcable'. Q.85. In th,S questlon, lt is important that you code both parts. You wlil note that 'stayed at home' and 'went away' are numbered 1 and 2, but 'Wlth chlldren' etc., are also numbered from 1 to 8. Therefore you need to code both of these sectlons. In other words, we want to know if somebody stayed at home and thelr chlldren came to ViSlt, then ObVlously you would code for '1' ln both sections. If they went away to stay wlth thelr chlldren, then you would code '2' and '1'. But both sectlons must be coded. Q.92. Here agaln, lt lS necessary to code both parts of the questlon. The number of clubs and organlsatlons and the nature of clubs and organ1sat1ons. Q.94. There lS no point ln codlng th,S questlon lf the anSwer to Q.92 l ;;as'none • Qs.113 and 114. I notlce t~at several people have coded for 114 even if the answer to 113 ,S 'No'. It seems that people flnd lt expenses hard to meet even lf they don't worry about them. Therefore, I thlnk lt would be a good ldea lf you could code Q.114 for all respondents.

I would also llke to add a note about the brief resume of household and respondent situatlon ln the Intervlewer's report. Some reople have been very good on thlS, but others have been rather brlef and I think perhaps it lS because they don't reallse the klnd of thlng that we want. So I am gOlng to glve you an example of what I thought was qUlte a good resume, ln case you are one of the ones who has been wonderlng the kind of ttlng you should wrlte in th,S sectlon.

"This gentleman lives wah hlS Wlfe who has a chest complaint. She has not been out very much all W,nter because of the cold - only to visit her chlldren. They seem to live very happlly ln a close communlty. Most of thelr near nelghbours had moved lnto thelr houses orlglnally thirty years' ago as they had done and thelr children had been brought up together. This gentleman is very close to h,S chlldren. He has a daughter ln X whom he vlslted over Chrlstmas for two weeks. He contacts her on the 'phone several tlmes a week and they_are as close with thelr youngest son who l,ves ln Chester. They went to stay wlth him for two weeks over Easter and are in constant touch by 'phone. There other son and famlly l,ve in the U.S.A. They have been to vlsit hlm f,ve years' ago and he lS expected home for a V1Slt this year. They talked to h,m on the 'phone last week. They seem to have had a very actlve soclal llfe but sald that they prefer to stay ln durlng the evenlngs as they get older and they had not thought of JOlnglng an OAP organlsatlon yet. They get on extremely well wlth people around them. The lntervlewee sald "You 10.'111 get trcated exactly the way you treat people Llfe lS all glve and take". ~ -,/---- . ------.
