[NAGDU] research request for assistance dog users under the age of 55

Tue Jun 20 20:03:31 UTC 2023

Hi folks:

I will email the individual conducting the survey and ask about the "age-restriction". I am under the age of 55/65; however, they should have elaborated WHY the restriction and the purpose of the survey.

Those of us over 65 have as much information and thoughts to give for this survey.

I think ageism is alive and well in this research.

I don’t understand why there should be a maximum age limit for this survey! I guess they’re not interested in the opinions of older people. I take exception to that.
