- Abstract
This article presents information on findings of three independent qualitative research projects related to health and health promotion in the middle years, the health beliefs of men aged 30-40 and people with physical disability. The study was conducted in Scotland. The authors conducted in-depth interviews with analysis based on the grounded theory method. The first study related to a multi-method project on health, health promotion and the middle years aimed to explore in-depth health relevant concepts, behaviors and experiences amongst men and women aged 45-59, and the salience of health and illness in their everyday lives. The study also aimed to examine attitudes towards, and experience and current use of, preventive health services within primary care.
