How do adults rank their social status?

Summary

Researchers from the University of Calgary are conducting a research study on social status. We want to see how you rank your own social status so that we can better understand what adults consider when they rank their social status and how their social status can affect their health. If you are interested, we will ask you to take part in an interview where we will ask you to rank your social status using a ladder scale and ask you a few questions about how you decided on that rank.
