James Cook University Research Ethics ID: H8022
This research is funded by the Australian Association of Gerontology's Research Trust.
Researchers at James Cook University and The University of Melbourne investigated how radio impacts the lives of older listeners. In particular, we were interested in finding out how radio listening practices might relate to well-being. For more information, contact Dr Amanda Krause, Amanda.Krause1@jcu.edu.au
