Questionnaire for Assessing the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Accompanying Mitigation Efforts on Older Adults (QAICPOA)

Source: University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Published: 4/2/2020. This questionnaire was developed by expert opinion. It will be used in two studies: the Study of Muscle Mobility and Aging (SOMMA), a study that is currently enrolling men and women age 70 and older to determine the biologic role of muscle in development of mobility disability, and the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS Study), an ongoing multicenter cohort study of healthy aging of older men, with a particular focus on osteoporosis. MrOS men were initially enrolled in 2000-2002 and are all now in their mid-80s or older. In each study, organizers hope to administer the questionnaire two or three times over the coming months, along with select other repeated data from the cohorts (e.g., fall incidence, mobility function, activity level).
