EVIDENCE:


Field Work: Conducted interview regard drowning figures via Phonebox.

Recording procedure:

I have begun the recording...
Can I get your name and title for the record?
Is there anything you would like to add?
Thank you for your time.

Interview questions: 

How serious is this issue on the Gold Coast?

Considering the number of elderly people who travel to our popular beaches?

How will simply talking to elderly people increase awareness of drownings?

(That's all I have to ask, is there anything you would like to add?)
How can elderly people stay safe in the water if they have conditions such as 'dementia'?

Why are males more at risk of drowning in comparison to females?

Are drowning incidents more common when an elderly person is swimming alone?

Are elderly people simply being more reckless?

Is there an issue with elderly people causing watercraft accidents?

(if yes) Should their boat licences be reviewed?

If inland waterways are a high drowning hazard, what should be done to prevent swimming in these areas?

What supervision should occur to prevent elderly people from drowning?

Is swimming safety simply about saying 'watch your mate' and everyone will be safe?

The figures of children drowning have decreased dramatically over the past decade. How long can we expect it to take for elderly drownings to decrease?

How might children drownings be affected if the shift is moved to safe swimming for elderly people?

Do these new statistics suggest that children should not be left with elderly people while swimming?

What can doctors do to ensure their patients are aware of the risks of prescribed medications and health conditions?
