Although the majority of the people interviewed were from ages 18-24, overall there were still more people from other ages combined together who did the survey.
Majority of the people interviewed were childless but there was still a relatively fair amount of people who had children.
- childless people would still likely become parents in the future in any case.
More people were uncomfortable than comfortable with holding a conversation about death.
Majority of the interviewed chose image C for both questions but there was a larger variations for image chosen to describe death to children - reflecting the overall need to protect and shield children from the concept of death.
Majority of the interviewed choosing words passed away and died to describe death to both categories but again there was a larger variation of choices for when describing or talking about death with children, reflecting the innate need to "protect" the child from the idea of death.
