B&A was selected to take over fieldwork on the TILDA contract, the Irish Longitudinal Study on Aging, which is principally funded by the Irish State, and a philanthropic organisation, The Atlantic Philantropies, and run by Trinity College Dublin. It is the largest ever study on the health and wellbeing of over fifties in Ireland, and involves longitudinal interviews, and medical checks upon older adults every second year. Its output is used to determine national policy on older people. B&A has also been selected by TNS in Brussells to handle Eurobarometer fieldwork in Ireland. Both studies involve large scale face-to-face fieldwork and detailed internal and external oversight of fieldwork quality, data handling and training procedures.
The IRIS Network is pleased to welcome B&Company to our Global Network.
