Abstract
The Baby Boomer generation (born 1946-1964) faces unique public health challenges as they age, including increased rates of chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis, along with barriers to healthcare access. Reproductive health issues, such as menopause, sexual health, and hormone regulation, further complicate their needs, often going unaddressed due to stigma or lack of resources. Social work is crucial in addressing these challenges by advocating for equitable healthcare policies, providing education on aging-related health issues, and connecting Baby Boomers to essential services. Social workers ensure comprehensive care that supports physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By addressing these multifaceted health concerns, public health efforts in social work can improve the overall quality of life for Baby Boomers.
期刊介绍：
Social Work in Public Health (recently re-titled from the Journal of Health & Social Policy to better reflect its focus) provides a much-needed forum for social workers and those in health and health-related professions. This crucial journal focuses on all aspects of policy and social and health care considerations in policy-related matters, including its development, formulation, implementation, evaluation, review, and revision. By blending conceptual and practical considerations, Social Work in Public Health enables authors from many disciplines to examine health and social policy issues, concerns, and questions.
