Disparities in Cancer Mortality among Disaggregated Asian American Subpopulations, 2018-2021
Federal, state, and institutional data collection practices and analyses involving Asian Americans as a single, aggregated group obscure critical health disparities among the vast diversity of Asian American subpopulations. Using from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) Underlying Causes of Death database, we conducted a cross-sectional study using data on disaggregated A…
Intergenerational Health Review
Intergenerational Health Review (IHR) postulates that reminiscence of personal history is a reconciling process beneficial to individuals since it helps to find meaning in life and gain a better sense of well-being. This paper presents a college course project, within which students documented reminiscence stories in older adults’ lives based on an event of recovery from illness. Evaluation of findings indicated that the pilot IHR project benefit…
Involving Retired Citizens in ESL Education
In the contexts of population aging and English as a second language (ESL) proficiency decline in Hong Kong, a 12 weeks program that matched 15 retired citizens with 30 secondary school children who wanted to practice English outside the classroom was established. Using proficiency tests, open-ended questions, and Likert scales, this study examined the program value in terms of participants’ program experiences and performances. Results indicated…
Reduced effectiveness of tree planting on micro-climate cooling due to ozone pollution—A modeling study
By reducing growth of leaves, ozone pollution reduces the cooling effect of trees. • Tree performance on surface temperature, sensible heat and PET were studied. • Planning implications of tree planting due to the ozone effect were discussed. Urban tree planting is an important measure to provide micro-climate cooling (MCC) in megacities. However all of the studies available in the literature were focused on an ideal and clean environment where t…
A Cross-cultural, Intergenerational Activity
Intergenerational study tourism (IST) is a conceptual model designed to promote cross-cultural, intergenerational (IG) encounters through travel and learning. IST is an area of IG practice that would benefit from further research. In response to this identified need, this paper documents a pilot effort to develop a model that includes the design of a cross-cultural, intergenerational activity and examines its perceived benefits, reflection and di…
Intergenerational Strategies for Enriching the ESL Education Platform
The focus of this article is on intergenerational approaches for framing, delivering, and improving English as a Second Language (ESL) education. Several intergenerational models that are designed to contribute to second-language learning are highlighted. An exploratory theme that runs through the article is how activities that stimulate intergenerational (teacher-learner) sharing of real-life interests, stories, experiences, and perspectives als…
