🚨New research alert!
We identified and categorised goals of frail older people living with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease.
Participants most frequently focused their goals on function, physical health, social engagement, and leisure.

We used Q-methodology to explore what allied health services are most important to consumers and their expectations of these services in residential aged care.
Q-methodology is a mixed method using card sorting/ranking to identify viewpoints; the systematic study of subjectivity.
