CAFÉ Participants


40 women took part in CAFÉ in Norfolk in 2007/8.  Twenty women had individual interviews with Kathleen Lane, the researcher, with follow-up interviews about 5 months later.  A further twenty women took part in group interviews. All of the participants were aged 65 to 95 (average 82), half lived in sheltered accommodation and half lived independently. 

Each of the CAFÉ participants chose a pseudonym.  These are their psuedonyms - we would like to thank each of them so much for their time, energy and insight:
