INTRODUCTION AND INFOMRED CONSENT
Namaste. My name is Vishal and I am pursuing my Ph.D. at Centre for Research in Rural and Industrial Development (CRRID), Chandigarh. I am conducting a survey of elderly persons to study their out of pocket health expenditure and it’s financing. To this end I will be gathering information on the households they live in. I am selecting a sample of households with elderly persons, and you are among them. I would very much appreciate the participation of your household in this survey and I would like to ask you some questions about your household.
Whatever information you provide will be kept strictly confidential. After this interview I would
like to talk to the older persons (60+) of your households. Please inform them of this survey.
Participation in this survey is voluntary and you can choose not to answer any question or
dropout of the survey at any time. However, I hope you will participate in this survey since your
participation is important for the study. Please feel free to ask any question at any time during the
interview.b
