BEWOHNT - The Importance of Living in the Neighbourhood for Healthy Ageing, Wave 2

The sample was selected at random based on resident registration data and recruited through personal contact and consultation with local stakeholders. The survey was conducted in the form of personal interviews (home visits). The geographical coverage explicitly extended to the three selected Frankfurt districts, which represent different urban structures.

The survey was conducted and scientifically supervised by the Endowed Chair for Interdisciplinary Gerontology at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. The repeat survey focused on changes experienced, the evaluation of services in the district, aspects of objective health and health literacy, and the evaluation of current life and future prospects. Special scales and measuring instruments were used, including scales for emotional well-being (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)), for assessing current life (Valuation of Life (VOL)), and for health literacy (European Health Literacy Survey).
