Now we want you to remember what your friend or relative was like two years ago
and to compare that with what he/she is like now. Below are situations where
your friend or relative has to use his/her memory or intelligence, and we would
like you to indicate whether this has improved, stayed the same, or gotten worse
in each situation over the past two years. Note the importance of comparing
his/her present performance with two years ago. So if two years ago your friend
or relative always forgot where things were left, and he/she still does, then
this would be considered "not much change."

things about family and friends, such as occupations, birthdays and addresses?

*IF ALL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 30 THROUGH 32 ARE "NO," SKIP TO QUESTION 69
We are interested in learning about two types of care that people may provide to
individuals with a health or memory problem. In the questions below, "active
help" means tasks that you might perform such as helping your friend or relative
get across a room, cooking meals for him/her, or helping him/her with financial
matters. The other type of care, "supervision," means staying nearby your
friend or relative to ensure his/her safety, to provide reassurance, or to make
sure that nothing goes wrong.
33. In the past month, have you provided care to your friend or relative by
actively helping with any of the tasks in Question 30 or by supervising him/her
to ensure safety, provide reassurance, or to make sure that nothing goes wrong?
