The Getting Older Community Survey was an opportunity for the wider Australian bleeding disorders community to let HFA know concerns around getting older with a bleeding disorder and what would help now and in the future. It was conducted during November 2019 to January 2020.
Who WAS the survey for?
The survey could be completed by any adult in the bleeding disorders community who lives in Australia and was aimed at:
- people with bleeding disorders who are getting older
- their partners, family, friends and carers.
What Was the survey about?
The survey asked personal questions about aspirations for the future and what would help to achieve this, work/retirement, housing, finances, information and education, computer and mobile device use, support, and social connectedness.
