From NIL to real estate
Recent legal and financial reforms have altered the business model of college sports. The erosion of the NCAA's amateurism defense (culminating in the House settlement) has formalized athlete compensation and introduced direct labor expenses into athletic departments finances for the first time. Concurrently, the transfer mobility of athletes, new federal oversight, and the continuing evolution of NIL markets has increased competition among schoo…
Introduction to the special section
Attention to the linkages between climate change and human mobility practices – including immobility – has mounted as climate-related mobility becomes more evident. Research and policy engagement have followed, with increasing recognition of the complexity of climate-related mobility countering simplistic causal models. In this introduction and special section, we seek specifically to highlight the relationship between governance and climate-rela…
Introduction to the Costs of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
This special issue is the result of the Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s Disease (MCCFAD) third Summer Data Immersion (SDI) program held on May 23–26, 2022. Thirty-seven researchers from 17 universities participated in the program, which emphasized racial/ethnic and other contextual factors in the study of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) costs using a team science approach. During the program, data from the H…
Friendship trajectories and health across the lifespan
Friends are a vital source of social relations throughout the lifespan and across developmental stages. Our knowledge of how friendships develop over time, especially from childhood through adulthood, is limited. Furthermore, it is now recognized that this specific type of relationship influences health across the life course in unique ways. Using the Convoy Model of Social Relations as a guiding framework, this study charts the multiple and uniq…
Shaping spaces
Migration is often approached as being a consequence of climate change with a significant degree of causality invoked. The role of government and other institutions, particularly in the local space where households take decisions as they face the effects of slow-onset climate change tends not to be studied. The paper seeks to address the role of these institutions in the local space in which households operate and how they contribute to shaping t…
Rural–Urban Health Care Cost Differences Among Latinx Adults With and Without Dementia in the United States
Health care costs are disproportionately higher among Latinx rural, relative to urban, residents. Addressing health care costs among Latinx rural residents is a public health priority
Dementia Caregiving Experiences and Health Across Geographic Contexts by Race and Ethnicity
Geographic context shapes dementia caregiving experiences and caregiver health differently across racial/ethnic groups. Findings are consistent with previous studies that have shown that feelings of uncertainty, helplessness, guilt, and distress are more prevalent among people providing caregiving from a distance. Despite higher rates of dementia and dementia-related mortality in nonmetro areas, findings suggest both positive and negative aspects…
Landscape elements affect public perception of nature-based solutions managed by smart systems
Smart technologies promise innovative approaches to manage nature-based solutions (NBS) for more effective regulating functions under climate change. However, smart systems may also affect people’s experiences of NBS by introducing noticeable changes in urban landscapes. This study investigated public perception of “smart” retention ponds that had changing water level as controlled by smart systems and varied in the following microscale landscape…
Influence of Care Network Characteristics on Physician Visit Experiences for Black, White, and Hispanic Older Adults With Dementia
Larger networks and a higher proportion of PCNMs providing assistance predicted caregiver presence and assistance at the physician visit but not access to care. Findings suggest that strengthening care networks early in the disease may support improved health care outcomes for persons with dementia across diverse populations

Functional Limitations and Perceived Neighborhood Walkability Among Urban Dwelling Older Adults
Older adults with functional limitations (FLs) often experience obstacles to walking. Although health promotion programs targeting physical activity are available in lower-income areas, few studies have compared the walking experiences of older adults who have FLs with those who do not in the community. The purpose of this cross-sectional survey was to compare perceptions of neighborhood walkability among older adults living in lower-income commu…
Care and safety in neighborhood preferences for vacant lot greenspace in legacy cities
We conducted a post-construction survey of neighborhood preferences for street scale urban greenspace designed as green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) on vacant residential lots in Detroit, a city where greenspace has potential to address structural inequities that characterize legacy cities and affect well-being. We investigated residents’ preferences related to their perceptions of microscale elements: immediately perceptible fine grain landsc…
Volunteering and health
Towards bridging the grey digital divide
The internet is an indispensable aspect of modern society. It facilitates long distance communication, access to information, health care interventions, as well as multiple opportunities for social participation. Despite increasing pervasiveness of this technology, persistent inequalities exist in who has access to the internet. In particular, older adults lag behind in having internet access, thus putting them at risk for social exclusion. In or…
Partnering with Middle Eastern/Arab American and Latino Immigrant Communities to Increase Participation in Alzheimer’s Disease Research
Partnership with communities to develop culturally targeted and sensitive community health events can fill a significant gap in addressing ADRD health disparities by establishing sustainable relationships to increase participation in ADRD research
The Strength of Weaker Ties
Contrary to popular theoretical orientations in gerontology, weaker ties may offer older adults a more effective avenue for promoting emotional well-being over time than close ties, and may have the additional benefit of compensating for losses in the number of close ties
The Impact of Region and Urbanicity on the Discrimination-Cognitive Health Link Among Older Blacks
Little research has examined how the link between discrimination and cognitive health varies by where people live. This study investigates how living in non-urban versus urban areas in different regions in the United States moderates the discrimination-cognitive health link among older non-Hispanic Blacks. Data are from the 2012 and 2014 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS; N=2,347). Regression analyses indicate that experiencing more e…
Social Networks and Physical Activity in Senior Housing
This study demonstrates potential feasibility of a strategic partnership that involves pairing social resources with physical activity interventions in affordable senior housing. Multiple approaches, which need to be evaluated, exist to identify socially engaged residents
Social Networks and Physical Activity in Senior Housing
Objective: Only 16% of people aged >65 years engage in recommended levels of physical activity, putting a vast majority at risk for multiple chronic conditions including heart disease. Physical activity is even lower among older adults with fewer economic resources. Research is needed to develop context-specific approaches to pair with physical activity interventions to increase effectiveness. In this pilot study, we examine social ties and phys…
Reinventing Social Democratic Development
Uneven economic growth in the Global South, with mounting inequalities and the crisis of democratization, has generated new quests for social democracy - but are such efforts, these days, at all feasible? The point of departure in this book is that there are no easy solutions such as generalizing the Latin American Pink Tide or exporting the Nordic model. There are many unresolved problems with participatory approaches; and the current conditions…
So Close and Yet So Irritating
Results were partially consistent with the strength and vulnerability integration (SAVI) model, which proposes fewer age-related improvements in emotion regulation when individuals are unable to avoid tensions. Despite feeling just as negative as younger individuals, older individuals may be more resilient to tensions in their closest relationships
Multiple Chronic Conditions in Spousal Caregivers of Older Adults With Functional Disability
Spousal caregivers with MCCs involving discordant management strategies appear to be at risk for adverse care-related outcomes and may benefit from support in maintaining their own health as well as their caregiving responsibilities

Chronic Stress and Negative Marital Quality Among Older Couples
Consistent with the Dyadic Biopsychosocial Model of Marriage and Health, partner stress has direct associations with waist circumference among couples and this link is moderated by negative marital quality. Thus, dyadic perceptions of stress and negative marital quality are important to consider for understanding marriage and obesity
Volunteerism
The dynamic role of social networks and the ways in which they may work through bridging and bonding to influence both likelihood and frequency of volunteering are discussed. The potential benefits of volunteerism in light of longer life expectancies and smaller families are also considered
Structural violence, urban retail food markets, and low birth weight
Social Relations and Mortality
Among older adults social relationships influence mortality, but it is less clear how. We examined associations between relationship quality with spouse, child, and best friend and mortality; and whether the associations varied in the presence of chronic illnesses. Survival analyses ( N = 514; 59 percent women aged ≥ 60) revealed sometimes counterintuitive main and buffering effects. Individuals who reported greater negative relationship quality …

Dementia Caregiving in the Context of Late-Life Remarriage
Caregiving research has not accounted for increasingly diverse and complex marital and family histories of older Americans. The authors examined social relations and care-specific positive and negative support networks among late-life remarried wife dementia caregivers (N = 61) to determine associations among network structure, relationship quality with and support received from network members, and global assessments of family and stepfamily dis…

Panchayati Raj in West Bengal
Since 1978 the Left Front government in West Bengal, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) - CPI(M) - has pursued a strategy of decentralized planning through locally elected panchayats (councils) in the countryside. The stated ideological commitment of the CP1(M) is to support and eventually empower the poor and oppressed and this has resulted in Panchayati Raj assuming the status of not just a state sponsored decentralization strategy, …
Alcohol Consumption Decisions Among Nonabusing Drinkers Diagnosed with Hepatitis C
Most studies of decisions to curtail alcohol consumption reflect experiences of abusing drinkers. We employ an exploratory sequential research design to explore the applicability of this research to the experience of nonabusing drinkers advised to curtail alcohol consumption after a Hepatitis C diagnosis. A qualitative component identified 17 new decision factors not reflected in an inventory of factors based on synthesis of existing scales. We t…
