We are carrying out a market research study about healthy lifestyles.

Looking to speak to people with relatively unhealthy lifestyles – i.e.people who smoke, drink, don’t exercise enough, are overweight… or any combination of these.

The research will be two 90 minute paired depth interviews (two people interviewed together). Each person will receive £55 for their participation.

Pair 1: Indian Females – 4.00pm

Two Indian females aged 50 to 60, whose children have grown up and left home. Working or retired… possibly a grandparent.

Pair 2: Caribbean Males – 5.45pm

Two Black Caribbean males aged 40 to 49. Working parents with children living at home.

Some respondents also may be asked to take part in a follow up telephone interview lasting between 5 and 10 minutes.
