Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I would like to start by asking you some background questions before asking you questions about your health. This information is confidential and you will not be identified individually or without your consent.

One of the issues we are exploring in this study are the memory problems that some older persons can have. I know these questions may be sensitive or difficult to answer, but please try to provide an answer. I would like to start by asking you two questions about your memory
