Older adults' beliefs about coping strategies for anxiety: A UK-based multicultural qualitative study informed by Leventhal's Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation

Aim

This UK-based multicultural qualitative study explored beliefs underpinning coping strategies for anxiety among White British, South Asian, African and Caribbean older adults who self-reported anxiety, informed by Leventhal's Common-Sense Model.
