Dear Resident Services Coordinator,
You are invited participate in an online survey about the health behaviors of older adults 65+. This
survey is open to resident services coordinators in senior housing and mixed-senior housing. Survey
participants are eligible for an optional drawing for a $50 gift card to be held in mid-March. If you
choose to participate, the survey takes about 15-20 minutes.
I am a graduate student in the Clinical Psychology program at the University of Rhode Island. This research study for my doctoral dissertation will provide more information about the opinions of people like you regarding health behaviors relevant to older adult clients/residents.
You can click on the following link if you're interested in participating:

at your site for a minimum of 15 attendees. You can discuss
this with Carol St. Cyr at 617.854.1090. Also, your suggestions
on topics, course content and diversity of TAP trainers are
