Reports on first stages of a cross-national study which examines the impact of migration of family members on sources of help and support to older members of Gujarati, Punjabi and Sylheti families living in the United Kingdom, India and Bangladesh. Samples of people aged 55 and over were drawn from the UK and Asia. The UK sample was drawn from Gujarati, Punjabi and Sylheti elders in Birmingham via contacts established through local ethnic associations and the use of a 'snowball' technique. Looks at progress to date and discusses problems encountered in sampling the populations.
