Moving Beyond ‘Aging In Place’ to Understand Migration and Aging
Aging in place' has become a key conceptual framework for understanding and addressing place within the aging process. However, aging in place has been critiqued for not sufficiently providing tools to understand relations or transactions between aging and place, and for not matching the diversity of contemporary society in which people are moving between and across nations more than ever before. In this article, the authors draw from concepts of…
Safe passage of goods and self during residential relocation in later life
Techniques of possession research among older people tend to accentuate their prizing of things and their use of special dispositions to achieve the protection or ‘safe passage’ of things as they transfer to a new owner. Such efforts on behalf of possessions may also be undertaken to perpetuate the self. To study the care of things and self in a wider context, we examined older people's repertoire of disposition strategies during episodes of hous…

What do we know about older adults and HIV? a review of social and behavioral literature
The fastest growing segment of the United States HIV population is people aged 50 and older. This heterogeneous group includes people with diverse pathways into HIV positive status in later life, including aging with the disease as well as later life-acquired infections. As people with HIV live into older ages, solving problems of successful secondary prevention and ongoing treatment requires more specific knowledge of the particular aging-relate…

What is a missed dose? Implications for construct validity and patient adherence
The construct 'missed dose' is central to many assessments of medication adherence. However, few studies have investigated how patients or clinicians conceptualize missed doses or the extent of the concordance or discordance between clinicians and patients. To address this gap we conducted semi-structured interviews with 45 sero-positive African American adults taking HAART and 17 of their clinicians. Results reveal large variability in missed do…

Sero-positive African Americans’ Beliefs about Alcohol and Their Impact on Anti-retroviral Adherence
Developing a Community-Based Definition of Needs for Persons Living with Chronic HIV
With the advent of antiretroviral therapy, HIV has become a chronic illness for those who have access to the medication. But unlike our understanding of acute disease experience which can be grasped within parameters defined by categories of medical diagnosis and treatment, understanding the experience of chronic illness requires that we expand our analytic frame to include variables and perspectives created by the beliefs, behaviors, context, an…
Cross-Cultural Perspectives on the Concept of Retirement
Adherence discourse among African-American women taking Haart
Low adherence is the single most important challenge to controlling HIV through the use of high acting anti-retrovirals (HAART). Non-adherence poses an immediate threat to individuals who develop resistant forms of the virus as well as a public health threat if those individuals pass on treatment-resistant forms of the virus. To understand the concerns and perceptions that promote or deter adherence to antiretroviral medication by HIV-positive Af…
Sampling in Qualitative Research
In gerontology the most recognized and elaborate discourse about sampling is generally thought to be in quantitative research associated with survey research and medical research. But sampling has long been a central concern in the social and humanistic inquiry, albeit in a different guise suited to the different goals. There is a need for more explicit discussion of qualitative sampling issues. This article will outline the guiding principles an…

The cultural adversity of physical disability
The Retirement Process
In research on life-course transitions, the dynamics of reorganizing meanings and lives were examined in interviews with 32 retiring workers in the United States. New retirees engaged in reorganization of self and social identity by work in special projects involving physical labor to demolish and rebuild backyards and household interiors. Findings indicate that the work in these projects conjoins the reshaping of subjective experience and social…
Dying at Home
Generativity in Culture Context
Theoretical approaches to conceptualising the notion of generativity have been psychologically or psychosocially based and assume generativity to be a universal phenomenon. Because psychological issues are subsumed within a cultural context, we suggest that generativity is not a universal psychological principle but rather a cultural construct. In this paper we argue that generativity must be analysed as a product of American culture and its embe…
Key Relationships of Never Married, Childless Older Women
The key relationships of never married, childless older women, that is, those relationships described as central, compelling, enduring, or significant throughout their lifetimes, were explored in this study. Analysis of qualitative, ethnographically based interviews with 31 women indicated that the key relationships they describe fall into three classes: ties through blood, friendships, and those we label "constructed" ties (kin-like nonkin relat…
