The study will collect qualitative data over four years. Once a year, we will interview participants and ask them to collect participatory data. The participatory data can be a written or audio diary, a life story, a social network map or photographs. It takes about 3-5 hours per year to participate in the research. A 60 € work allowance will be paid for each year of participation.
