Firearm Restraining Order Implementation Case Study in Lake County, Illinois
Risk-based firearm laws are a firearm injury prevention strategy. However, evidence for their efficacy in reducing firearm injury is mixed. There is agreement that the magnitude of their effect depends on implementation and efficacy would improve with better implementation. Local context and processes are key to evaluating outcomes of these laws. To contribute to the evidence base we conducted a case study of Firearm Restraining Order (FRO) imple…
Longitudinal Associations Between Psychological Resilience and Cognitive Function
Objectives Reductions in psychological resilience and declining cognition are common among older adults. Understanding the longitudinal association between them could be beneficial for interventions that focus on age-related cognitive and psychological health. In this study, we evaluated the longitudinal associations between cognition and psychological resilience over time in a nationally representative sample of U.S. older adults. Methods A tota…

The role of social communication technologies in cognition and affect in older adults
Affect and cognition have both been associated with communication across one's social network during ageing. Thus, it is important to consider how communication varies by different aspects of one's social network, and by communication mode, including phone, email and social media. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between technology-mediated communication, depression and an executive function-related fluid-reasoning measure among o…
Global Is Local
Purpose: Medical educators recognize the importance of addressing social determinants of health and providing opportunities for learners to work with diverse populations. Still, social, geographic, resource, and language barriers prevent institutions from connecting with globally diverse populations within their own communities. In this article, we describe the migrant farmworker health course at the University of Minnesota, the importance of lon…
How Do Older Adults Recruited Using MTurk Differ From Those in a National Probability Sample
A growing number of studies within the field of gerontology have included samples recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk), an online crowdsourcing portal. While some research has examined how younger adult participants recruited through other means may differ from those recruited using MTurk, little work has addressed this question with older adults specifically. In the present study, we examined how older adults recruited via MTurk might…
