Summary

The goal of this qualitative study is to investigate what matters to older people living with frailty, and how this can be measured using questionnaires (Patient Reported Outcome Measures, or "PROMs"). The research questions are: 1. What outcomes matter to older adults living with frailty? 2. What are participants' perceptions of PROMs that could measure these outcomes? Our estimated sample will be 15 older adults, approximately 5 people living with mild frailty, 5 living with moderate frailty and 5 living with severe frailty. Participants will take part in one 90-minute interview.
