Cross-Sectional Research

12.2K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Levels of Use of a GIS

267
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Naturalistic Observations

16.9K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Higher Education Studies
  • Community-Based Participatory Research

Background:

  • The Age-Friendly University (AFU) Initiative has seen limited empirical research on its implementation.
  • Universities worldwide are exploring ways to become more age-friendly.
  • Understanding campus-specific barriers is crucial for AFU success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the use of citizen science to identify barriers and supports for age-friendliness at the University of Manitoba.
  • To assess the feasibility of collaborative citizen science in an academic setting.
  • To inform institutional strategies for enhancing university age-friendliness.

Main Methods:

  • Employed collaborative citizen science, involving community members and researchers.
  • Citizen scientists conducted campus walks, documenting barriers and supports using a tablet application with photos and audio.
  • Joint analysis sessions were held to identify priority areas and develop recommendations.

Main Results:

  • 157 photos documenting age-friendly university barriers and supports were collected.
  • Accessibility, signage, and transportation were identified as the most critical issues.
  • Citizen scientists and researchers collaboratively identified priority areas for improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative citizen science is a viable method for assessing university age-friendliness.
  • Incorporating older citizen scientists can provide valuable insights into physical campus barriers.
  • Findings offer a model for academic institutions seeking to improve age-friendliness through community engagement.
