Are you an adult aged 65+ living in Canada who has been targeted and/or victimized by fraud? If so, we would like to invite you to participate in the fraud victimization among older adults study being conducted across Canada, led by researchers at King’s University College at Western University and the Ontario Provincial Police.
The goals of this study are to document the harms that victims and near-victims of fraud experience, and to determine the best ways to meet the support needs of older adults. This study involves one 60-to-75-minute session where you will be asked to discuss your experiences as victims or near victims of fraud. Participation can take place over the phone or via Microsoft Teams video telecommunication software, based on your preference. You will receive a $30 Amazon e-gift card as a compensation for participating in this study.
The research is being conducted by Dr. Joshua Wyman of King’s University College at Western University and Lyndsay Woolridge of the Ontario Provincial Police.
Please contract Lyndsay Woolridge at
lyndsay.woolridge@opp.ca if you are interested in participating in this research. Your participation can help contribute to research that may lead to benefits for older adults who are at risk of fraud victimization.
