Centering Humanizing, Individualized Care Amid Systemic Barriers
Palliative and end‐of‐life (PEOL) care offers many benefits to those with life‐limiting illness; however, people experiencing homelessness face systemic and social barriers to accessing such care. Healthcare (HC) and social service (SS) providers who work with unhoused individuals have essential roles and insight for how PEOL needs are addressed among this population which may inform opportunities to improve care. This study, therefore, explores …

A phenomenological understanding of the intersectionality of ageism and racism among older adults
This qualitative, phenomenological study explored the lived experience of the intersectionality of ageism and racism among older adults, with a focus on interpersonal experiences. Fifteen participants 60+ years of age (M = 67, SD = 7.45) in the U.S. Mountain West identifying as Black, Latino(a), Asian-American/Pacific Islander, or Indigenous engaged in a 1-hour interview. A three-cycle, inductive coding process involved five coders who independen…
Do Internalized Age Stereotypes Mediate the Relationship Between Volunteering and Self-Efficacy for Adults 50+ Years of Age
This cross-sectional study examined whether internalized age stereotypes mediate the relationship between volunteering and self-efficacy for adults 50+ years of age. A convenience sample of volunteers (n = 173) residing in the United States of America Mountain West completed a 15-min, online survey. The independent variable was number of volunteer hours per week (mean = 6.44, SD = 5.50). The dependent variable was self-efficacy measured by five, …
A Review of participant, agency, and community outcomes of non-familial intergenerational programs
Social workers are uniquely qualified to administer intergenerational programs, which offer a long-standing and promising way to improve the lives of children, youth, older adults, and communities. Existing reviews of intergenerational programming include a relatively limited time period and do not include agency and community outcomes. This scoping review was conducted with two primary objectives: (1) to synthesize a more comprehensive understan…
A Phenomenological Understanding of the Intersection-ality of Ageism and Racism Among Older Adults
The findings indicate how ageism may be racialized through stereotypes related to mental (in)capability. Practitioners can apply the findings to enhance support for older adults by designing interventions aimed at reducing racialized ageist stereotypes and increasing collaboration through education across anti-ageism/anti-racism initiatives. Future research should focus on the impacts of the intersectionality of ageism and racism on specific heal…
A phenomenological, intersectional understanding of coping with ageism and racism among older adults
Exploring Lifestyle Activities to Reduce Internalized Ageism
The objective of this study is to test self-efficacy as a mediator in the relationship between three lifestyle activities (exercise, volunteering, and computer use) and self-perceptions of aging (SPA) among older adults. We hypothesize that increased self-efficacy will mediate the relationship between lifestyle activities and more positive SPA. This is a cross-sectional, secondary data analysis drawn from the 2016 wave of the Health and Retiremen…

Intergenerational programming during the pandemic
Intergenerational programs have long been employed to reduce ageism and optimize youth and older adult development. Most involve in‐person meetings, which COVID‐19 arrested. Needs for safety and social contact were amplified during COVID‐19, leading to modified programming that engaged generations remotely rather than eliminating it. Our collective case study incorporates four intergenerational programs in five US states prior to and during COVID…
Mental Health Consequences and Service Use of Older Adults at Risk of Financial Exploitation
This study examines whether the experience of financial exploitation is associated with increased likelihood of mental health consequences and subsequent use of mental health services. Interviews were conducted with 99 participants, age 60 and older, at risk for elder abuse. The authors and research team administered standardized measures of elder mistreatment, depression, trauma, social support, and service use. Older adults who experienced fina…
Young Adult Caregiver Strain and Benefits
Young adult caregivers (YACs) of older adults are an often-overlooked subset of the caregiver population, though they make up more than a quarter of all caregivers. Because of their stage in life and their economic and work status, YACs (ages 21 to 40) are likely to face different caregiving challenges than other age cohorts of caregivers. Using the life course perspective and role conflict theory as foundational frameworks, this article compares…
Complex linkages between forced labor slavery and environmental decline in marine fisheries
Recent media attention on human rights abuses in the fishing sector, precipitated by undercover investigations from nongovernmental organizations and investigative journalists (e.g., Environmental Justice Foundation [EJF] 2014 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FOUNDATION (EJF). (2014) Slavery at Sea: The Continued Plight of Trafficked Migrants in Thailand’s Fishing Industry (London, UK: EJF). [Google Scholar], 2015a Environmental Justice Foundation. (2015a) …
Applying a social model of disability across the life span
With an estimated 21.3% of persons aged 15 and older experiencing disability in the USA, social workers will see clients present with disabilities across all practice settings and stages of human development. Yet, the training and terminology of social workers—which often closely aligns with medical professionals—may seem to occur in isolating silos or disciplinary theories. Social work education often views the needs of older adults and people w…
The Effectiveness of a Meaning-Centered Psychoeducational Group Intervention for Chinese College Students
Using a sample of 66 Chinese college students, we measured the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a meaning-centered psychoeducational group intervention in increasing the level of their psychological well-being. The students were assigned to either a control or an intervention group, and those in the intervention group attended 9 weekly meaning-centered psychoeducational sessions. All participants completed baseline, posttest, and …
Differences Across Age Groups in Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People’s Experiences of Health Care Discrimination, Harassment, and Victimization
Medicare policy changes and this study's findings prompt further consideration for revising other health insurance policies. In addition, expanded cultural competency trainings that are specific to transgender and GNC individuals are crucial
Successful Strategies for Discharging Medicaid Nursing Home Residents With Mental Health Diagnoses to the Community
The state and federal push to transition Medicaid residents from nursing homes to the community calls for effective discharge strategies targeted to residents’ diverse needs. This exploratory, mixed-methods study utilized the Minimum Data Set to describe demographics, health characteristics, and transition patterns of Kansas Medicaid residents with mental health diagnoses who were discharged from nursing homes from 2005 to 2008. Discharged reside…
Does Identification of Depression Affect Community Long-Term Care Services Ordered for Older Adults
Given the increasing push for professionals in non-mental health settings to detect and respond to the mental health needs of vulnerable populations, this article examines whether the identification of depression influences service authorization in a publicly funded community long-term care (CLTC) setting. Using interview and case record data for 533 older, Medicaid-funded CLTC clients, the authors tested how CLTC workers' notation of depression …
Service use barriers differentiating care-givers' service use patterns
This study describes what types of service use barriers older adults' informal care-givers perceive and examines how these barriers differentiate care-giver service use patterns. Analysing the 2004 National Long-Term Care Survey and Informal Care-giver Data Set (N=1908) in the United States of America, this study reports the prevalence of service barriers for each type of service as well as for overall service use. Service barriers are measured i…
Structural Relationships Between Social Activities and Longitudinal Trajectories of Depression Among Older Adults
PURPOSE: This study examines the structural relationships between social activities and trajectories of late-life depression. DESIGN AND METHODS: Latent class analysis was used with a nationally representative sample of older adults (N = 5,294) from the Longitudinal Study on Aging II to classify patterns of social activities. A latent growth curve model captured longitudinal changes in depression and tested the impact of social activities while c…
Making Time for Dissertation Grants
Grant writing is a necessary skill for becoming an independent and successful social work researcher. Since social work dissertation grants are a relatively new trend, students face many challenges in identifying, preparing, and submitting dissertation grants. Lack of resources and experiences, difficulties in protecting time for grant writing, and the uncertainty of success can hinder work on dissertation grants. Thus, this article provides an o…
