Study of 65 and older hoarding behaviors

[Cindy]

NOTE: This is NOT CLA related information. It is a public service
announcement to use our experience, strength and hope to support
understanding of our dilemma.

A research study is taking place at the University of California, San
Francisco to learn more about hoarding behaviors in older adults.
If you are 65 years old or older and think you may have hoarding
behaviors, we invite you to participate in this important study.
By participating you will:
 Take part in a 90-minute private interview with a nurse researcher
 Receive $20 as a thank you for your time
 Help nurses, social workers, therapists and others better understand
hoarding behaviors and how they affect older adults
If you would like to learn more about this study, we would like to
hear from you!

Please call Monika Eckfield, RN, PhD(c) at (650) 219-0555.
If you answered YES to these questions, you may have hoarding
behaviors.
You are not alone.
As many as 4 million people in the U.S. have hoarding behaviors.
Often older adults encounter more difficulties related to their
hoarding behaviors because they have other health issues or live
alone.
