3. HaPAI | Objectives The Initiative was established to be a programme for assessing and communicating the progress towards Positive Ageing The Healthy and Positive Ageing Initiative (HaPAI) is a joint research initiative, led by the Department of Health, with the HSE, Age Friendly Ireland and the Atlantic Philanthropies. Increasing knowledge and greater awareness of the areas in which additional change or action is required; A Framework to help partners in wider government and society prioritise actions towards improving health and wellbeing for Older People; Development of local indicators to show the impact of the local environment on the health and wellbeing of older people, and to stimulate local action by stakeholders in Age Friendly Cities and Counties 3

5. Survey research overview What is a random sample survey? Uses a sample from large populations. Everyone in the target population has an equal chance of being selected A systematic method is followed to ensure that bias is avoided in the choice of survey participants It is often believed that a random sample will be representative of the population. However a random sample might, by chance, turn out to be anything but representative. For example, it is possible (though unlikely) that if you toss a fair die ten times, all the tosses will come up six. Why Is Random Sampling Important? While it is true that sampling randomly will eliminate systematic bias, the main reason for using random sampling is because the statistical procedures used to analyse the data are only reliable with random samples. 5

6. HaPAI survey: representativeness Survey weights Some people are less likely to take part in surveys e.g. much older adults, men, people with lower levels of education, people currently at work. Some people are more likely to take part e.g. younger people, retired people. The sample can be weighted so that it resembles the population from which it was drawn Weighting involves a process of using statistics to assign more or less weight to some groups than others so that the sample characteristics correspond more closely to the population 6
