Our center has met a problem with the longitudinal survey. Since some elder participants died and others have changed their phone numbers, we can only trace around half of the original participants. I am a bit worried. What can we do?

Hi, based on the previous suggestions, we have changed the method to a telephone survey instead of the Internet. But some elder members did not answer the phone call. What can we do then?
