Getting to Know You

Thank you for helping with this research about women and aging. It began in 1999, with the first results published in June 2003 in the American Journal of Health Behavior. Dr. O’Reilly also presented her results at the 2004 American Psychological Association Annual Meeting in Honolulu. The first book based on this research, Timeless Women Speak, Feeling Youthful at Any Age, was published in 2008. This new survey will help us learn how women feel about aging today for use in an updated book. The information is COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL but will be used to help us guide women through the aging process. Please write as much as you wish and add comments where appropriate and/or requested.
