Intergenerational Issues
Studies on Intergenerational Issues and Opportunities,
with attention to:
Research on the roles of older people as a national resource in working
with children and young adults, such as studies of the dynamics involved
when older persons assume the role of key members of the informal support
system in helping address health problems in their extended families
or in their communities;
Research on the creative involvement of young people (e.g. high school
and college age individuals) in cost efficient and clinically effective
service delivery approaches to treating different health problems experienced
by older adults in diverse settings of care; the impact of such interventions
on both older adults and their milieus will be examined.
