Interventions
The intervention is Visual cues to accompany survey questions. The intervention group will receive visual cues to accompany a survey involving questions about falls rates, imaginary falls scenarios of varying severities and willingness to pay for falls prevention questions. The duration of the intervention is the time taken to complete the survey. Each participant will complete the survey once only. We currently estimate that time taken to complete the survey will take approximately 90 minutes with no visual cues and perhaps 10 minutes less with visual cues.
