The elderly population is increasing, both relatively and in numbers, implying future challenges for the care services. Innovation and internet based well-fare technology have been proposed as part solutions. The new pensioners are supposed to be more positive to internet based technology but very few studies have explored this. In order to initiate innovation and long term planning a broader understanding of the attitudes in the elderly population is needed. On basis of Theory of planned behaviour, we developed a questionnaire to assess a broad variety of factors; socioeconomics, housing, health, social network, attitudes of the elderly population on giving and receiving care, and attitudes towards the use of internet based solutions. A 66 items questionnaire was sent to the population of new pensioners (age 67-70 years, n=1011) in the municipality of Grimstad with a response rate of 56.5%. The analyses indicated that the questionnaire was relevant and that socioeconomic factors were associated with attitudes towards the use of internet based solutions. Further validation of the questionnaire in a broader set of municipalities is needed
