Potential critical qualitative research questions are:
(Q1) “Why do elderly people have less access to health
services in (x Asia Pacific location)?” and (Q2) “What
can be done to lessen the effects of (y disease of
ageing)?” Both questions could be explored through
a critical ethnographic or an action research approach
within the location. Using collaborative group
processes with the elderly people, their health service
providers, and other key stakeholders, the objectives
will be to fully describe the location (Q1) or disease
(Q2) and its effects on the research participants and to
pose workable solutions within the constraints of the
situation.
