Psychologist Retired of Ohio (PROs) Survey

Psychologists Retired of Ohio (PRO’s), a small group of retired psychologists, has been meeting to explore ways that retired psychologists can be of use to themselves and to others. We have realized that, at this point in our development, input from others who are retired or who are nearing retirement would be useful; therefore, we would like you to respond to this brief questionnaire. This questionnaire should take less than five minutes of your time.
