18. HIGH QUALITY AGING OR GAMBLING WITH HEALTH? THE LIFESTYLES OF ELDERS WHO PLAY BINGO: SUPPLEMENTARY STUDY
By: Dr. Sandra O'Brien Cousins (Principal Investigator) -- Project Approved 2001-02
A supplementary study (from the 2000-01 approved project) to increase the numbers in the target group enabled the exploration of the three main questions (1) who plays bingo after age 65? (2) what do elders believe they 'get' out of playing bingo? (3) what are the day-to-day patterns of a 'bingo lifestyle' and the implications?
