The 4Cs of Housing
The residential environment, encompassing housing and neighborhood of residence, is a critical context shaping health and well-being. The 4Cs model delineates four pathways through which residential environments affect health including cost, conditions, consistency, and context, all of which are often compromised for low-income individuals. Affordable housing programs, like public housing, should mitigate negative exposures across the 4Cs but dis…
Family Caregiving and Disaster Preparedness Information‐Seeking Behaviors
Objectives This study aimed to investigate how community‐level social vulnerability factors moderated the relationship between family caregiving and three types of disaster preparedness information‐seeking behaviors (i.e., attend a meeting, talk with community members, and independently seek information). Methods Data from FEMA's 2020 National Household Survey were matched with the 2020 Social Vulnerability Index. Two‐level multinomial logistic r…

Age Differences in Perceived Preparedness for the Continuation of Covid-19 Pandemic
This study examined the age differences in perceived preparedness for the continuation of COVID-19 pandemic; and tested the moderating effects of three types of social support, i.e., emotional, financial and instrumental support. Using a sample of 450 adults in Texas, USA from the research project ‘Vulnerability and Resilience to Disasters’ (October 2020 to January 2021), results of multiple linear regressions showed that compared with people age…

Emotional Stress Experience of Care Professionals for Older Adults with Dementia
Emotional stress is a common problem for many professionals in dementia care. Although a plethora of quantitative studies have examined the factors that affect care professionals' emotional stress, little qualitative research has provided in-depth understanding of professional stress experiences. To magnify the voices of professionals who share their experiences of stress in caring for older adults with dementia, a qualitative interpretive meta-s…
Cultural capital and mediatory role of meaning-making in post-bereavement depression among older adults in rural China
Childhood emotional abuse and gamebullying among Chinese youths
This study investigated the relationship between childhood emotional abuse and gamebullying among youths, and the roles of mindfulness and Machiavellianism in that relationship. The study sample comprised 504 Chinese youths (female = 51.2%) who completed the Childhood Emotional Abuse Scale, Gamebullying Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and Machiavellianism Scale. Path analysis results indicated a history of childhood emotional abuse to p…
Perceived Disaster Preparedness between Asian Americans and Other Races
This study aimed to examine the differences in perceived disaster preparedness between Asian Americans and other major races in the USA, namely, Whites, African Americans and Native Americans, and how information-seeking behaviours and self-efficacy (i.e. perceived ability in conducting preparedness behaviours) mediated these racial differences. Data used were from the 2017 National Household Survey conducted by US Federal Emergency Management Ag…
Response Efficacy Perception and Taking Action to Prepare for Disasters with Different Lead Time
This study investigated how disaster types, namely those with shorter and longer warning lead times, contextualized individuals’ preparatory actions, especially those associated with their response efficacy perception (i.e., the belief that preparations are effective in risk reduction) and age. The working sample included 1,304 respondents from the 2017 US National Household Survey. Logistic regressions showed that individuals with higher levels …
Factors of web-based learning competence among urban Chinese older adults
Guided by Conditions of Learning Theory, this study investigated how internal and external factors related to web-based learning competence and whether age moderated such associations. Older adults from senior universities and community colleges in Shanghai were recruited (n = 1,310) in 2017. Web-based learning competence, internal factors (internet confidence, worry, and recognition), and external factors (internet environment and external suppo…
Impacts of health insurance on older adults with histories of homelessness
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between having health insurance and securing unsubsidized housing among older adults with histories of homelessness. This study also examined individual and clinical factors that may contribute to having health insurance and establishing residency without housing assistance. Using data from the 2019 Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative, we identified 1,204 older adults aged 55 and over wi…
Big and Mini
The Big and Mini program offers a promising approach with mutual benefits for participants. Strategies to improve the program and implications for intergenerational programs are presented
Impact of older adults' oral health on caregiving stress of their family caregivers in the United States
Extensive studies have explored the factors affecting caregiving stress, but how oral health of care recipients (CRs) associates with caregiving stress and the mechanism behind it are not well-known. Guided by Stress Process Theory, this study addressed such research gaps. Caregiver services dataset came from the 13th National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants in the United States (N = 1289). Caregiving stress included physical, emotiona…
Respite Services Utilization and Self-Rated Health of Older Family Caregivers in the United States
This study examined the associations between respite services use and self-rated health of older family caregivers who provided eldercare; and how the age of caregivers (i.e., young-old vs. old-old) moderated these relationships. Participants were asked when they used different respite services, namely, in-home respite, day care respite, and overnight respite. Using nationally representative data extracted from the 13th National Survey of Older A…
Effect of older adults in the family on the sandwich generation's pursuit of entrepreneurship
Household entrepreneurship is a basic unit of entrepreneurial activity, and a crucial aspect of connecting personal and social wellbeing. This study examines the relationship between the proportion of elderly family members and household entrepreneurship. This study also assesses the mediating effect of the middle-aged generation's support to their parents and the moderating effect of the parents’ support with respect to the proportion of elderly…
A Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Synthesis of Military-Connected Spousal Abuse Survivor Narratives
Domestic abuse in the military context is studied worldwide; however, few studies explore the experience from the perspective of civilian survivor spouses. This qualitative interpretative meta-synthesis (QIMS) investigates how the survivors of military-connected spousal abuse (MCSA) conceptualise their identity. We conducted a QIMS of eight studies from the UK and USA. Developed by a social worker to expand understanding of a topic without exposi…
Barriers to preparing for disasters
Transforming Space into Place
This study tested whether it is applicable to design a long-term care facility courtyard for older adults with a person-environment interchange approach. We created design protocols for an underutilized courtyard at an assisted living facility to promote interactions amongst residents, others, and nature. Then, we conducted semi-structured individual interviews with nine residents to explore their perceptions on the existing courtyard and the des…
