In Their Words
Findings from this study contribute to expanding gerontology's ontological imagination of how civic participation is experienced and conceptualized among older Latine immigrants and Black adults. The expertise shared by older African Americans and Latine immigrants lends us important perspectives to develop a critical theoretical framework by which scholars can more accurately study civic participation among this diverse population
Experiences of Civic Participation Among Older African American and Latinx Immigrant Adults in the Context of an Ageist and Racist Society
In the past 20 years, older adults’ civic participation has received considerable attention. Current literature shows that rates of voting and volunteering have been consistently lower among African Americans and Latinx older adults compared to White older adults. However, little research has explored civic participation in the context of historical structures of inequality that influence how Black and Latinx populations participate in civic life…
Evaluation of Integrative Community Therapy with Domestic Violence Survivors in Quito, Ecuador
Integrative community therapy (ICT) is a methodology used in the public health arena to deal with problems facing communities such as depression, substance abuse, and stress. This approach is unique as it builds on critical pedagogy, cultural anthropology, communication, resilience, and systems theory. Additionally, creative arts therapies point to the utility of music as a therapeutic tool. This study employed ICT and a music workshop with domes…
Reciprocity among forced migrants
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the role of informal reciprocity within a refugee and asylee context. The study draws from 21 semi-structured interviews conducted in 2019 with refugees and asylees (ages 27–70) originating from 13 different countries, who resettled in the Northeastern region of the United States. Results from the study revealed five themes that demonstrate that participants engage in reciprocity, both as actor…
Testing Relationships Between Racial-Ethnic Identity, Racial-Ethnic Discrimination, and Substance Misuse Among Black and Latinx Older Adults in a Nationally Representative Sample
Older adults (aged 55+) comprise a rapidly growing population both in number and racial-ethnic diversity. In recent years, substance misuse prevalence among older adults has increased and is expected to continue rising, highlighting the need to understand risk and protective factors in this population. Using nationally representative data, this study examines the association of racial-ethnic identity and racial-ethnic discrimination with alcohol …
Services needed and received when moving on from permanent supportive housing
Moving On initiatives present opportunities for stable individuals to move from permanent supportive housing (PSH) into mainstream affordable housing. However, there is a dearth of research on how best to support individuals during this critical transition. This mixed-methods study examines transitional and aftercare services needed and received by individuals moving on through an MOI. Descriptive statistics quantified frequency of services neede…
Municipal Ethnic Composition and Disparities in Covid-19 Infections in New Jersey
COVID-19 has disproportionally impacted Latinx and Black communities in the US. Our study aimed to extend the understanding of ethnic disparities in COVID-19 case rates by using a unique dataset of municipal case rates across New Jersey (NJ) during the first 17 months of the pandemic. We examined the extent to which there were municipal-level ethnic disparities in COVID-19 infection rates during three distinct spikes in case rates over this perio…
Characterising older adults’ engagement in age-friendly community initiatives
Researchers and programme champions alike have identified older adults as key contributors to age-friendly community change efforts. There has been very little scholarship, however, to characterise the nature of older adults’ engagement in age-friendly community initiatives (AFCIs). To help address this gap, we drew on five waves of data from semi-structured interviews with core group members of eight AFCIs in a Northeast region of the United Sta…
Continuity and Change in Relationships with Neighbors
Results suggest that continuity and change in relationships with neighbors is especially important for more developmental aspects of psychological well-being. Implications for future research on the meaning of neighbor relationships and aging in community are discussed
