"Debating the Internet’s effect on social capital and well-being"

As computer networking becomes increasingly important, using the Internet by older adults is an important issue for analysis. Researchers at the University of Sydney are conducting a study into the impact of using the Internet on older people.

For this project we are looking for participants who use the Internet for any purpose and are:

■ aged over 55 years (no upper age limit)

■ Australian residents

Participants will be invited to complete an online questionnaire. If you think that you might be interested in participating,click here. If you  know someone who might be, more information is online at www.fhs.usyd.edu.au/arow/sco/
