However, previous studies mostly examined one aspect of housing insecurity (e.g., affordability), and few focused on older adults. This study examined the relationship between perceived housing problems and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older Americans. Data from the Health and Retirement Study between 2006 and 2018 were used. A total of 7,119 respondents (aged 50+ at baseline in 2006) were followed up every 4 years. Respondents self-reported the status, severity, and duration of their housing problems. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale. Mixed-effect models examined the association between perceived housing problems and depressive symptoms. Results show about 5%-7% of respondents had housing problems during every study visit and 5.73% of them experienced persistent housing problems over 12 years. Having housing problems was associated with a higher risk of depressive symptoms (incidence risk ratio = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.23, 1.36). A dose-response relationship was observed in the severity and duration of housing problems, with a greater increase of depressive symptoms risk among those experiencing more severe or prolonged housing problems. The dose-response pattern highlighted the importance of early intervention and persistent assistance to those experiencing housing problems.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142569953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the rapid expansion of retirement communities across the United States, these areas may be emerging as hotspots for financial exploitation. This study presented officially reported administrative trend data on reported cases of financial exploitation and analyzed focus group and interview data collected from 80 residents of a large retirement community to assess the self-reported role of the community on older adults' financial exploitation experiences and perceptions of risk. Study participants overwhelmingly expressed that they were targeted for financial exploitation immediately and repeatedly after moving into the retirement community and much more frequently than they had experienced before moving. Participants believed they were seen as vulnerable targets and adequate protection measures were not implemented by the retirement community's management. Retirement community managers and local criminal justice officials should recognize that residents of retirement communities may be at risk for financial exploitation and implement prevention and response strategies.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142569990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, LTC homes lag behind other healthcare organizations in HIT adoption, and little is known about the factors that inform and shape LTC home managers' decisions. We conducted an exploratory Delphi study with a panel of 19 Canadian LTC managers who were surveyed through three iterative rounds (brainstorming, narrowing down, and ranking) to solicit their input on the key factors that influence HIT adoption decisions. An authoritative list of 25 factors, described and ranked in importance, was produced. The top five identified factors were (in order of importance): availability of funding, impact on workload and efficiency, value proposition, ease of use, and impact on residents' outcomes. The findings of this research may inform policies and interventions that provide training and workshop opportunities for managers in LTC and increase the awareness of the advocacy and leadership role that managers can play in advancing technology adoption in support of older adults' care. The results can also be used to support funding from LTC home governing bodies, which is tied to the technology adoption portfolio, to institutionalize the commitment to technological transformation in LTC.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142569942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People living with HIV in the rural South experience delayed HIV treatment and increased mortality risks. Access challenges and HIV stigma exacerbate care disengagement for rural people living with HIV (PLH). This study examines the applicability and feasibility of telehealth to provide HIV care for older adults in the rural U.S. South. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 key informants with expertise in HIV care and community engagement in high rural HIV burden states. Results indicate that telehealth challenges exist for older rural PLH to receive HIV care, such as lack of internet access and low technology literacy. Phone calls can be a simple and effective telehealth option for older rural PLH, as they align with their care preferences, mitigate care barriers, and show promise increasing care engagement. When warranted, complex telehealth options for older rural PLH require tailored approaches, such as portable medical instruments allowing real-time data sharing during home visits or tablet distribution from the clinic. Findings suggest that policy makers and providers support the reimbursement and use of audio-only telehealth services, expand broadband infrastructure and affordability in rural areas, and implement tailored telehealth interventions.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142569975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary nature of this field, such assessments typically require the involvement of experts from diverse backgrounds to ensure a comprehensive picture and to synthesize understudied and newly emerging topics into a future research agenda. We explored to what extent ChatGPT (version GPT-4, OpenAI) might be a useful tool for synthesizing the current state of research and identifying promising future research areas, which could feed into expert panel discussions for priority setting. ChatGPT proposed a long list of topics and specific research questions that are useful in summarizing current views on research priorities across diverse sources. To illustrate, the top five priorities for future aging research identified by ChatGPT were digital integration, climate change and older populations, mental health and aging, aging in diverse contexts, and post-pandemic aging. In conclusion, ChatGPT may be a useful tool for identifying research agenda priorities across organizations present in the web, but the lack of transparency requires that experts critically evaluate the values and views underlying selected priorities.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142569922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taiwan, Singapore, and Austria, all emphasizing the family's responsibility for eldercare, have long histories of recruiting migrant workers for home-based eldercare. However, cases of mistreatment of migrant caregivers and care recipients have aroused public concern regarding migrant workers' care capabilities and working conditions. Migrant caregivers have also reported that their lack of care skills and sufficient rest hamper their work with care recipients who have dementia. This commentary provides a critical review of the laws and policies pertaining to live-in migrant care workers' care capabilities and working conditions; the effects of such legal frameworks; and recent changes in Taiwan, Singapore, and Austria. This article enhances our cross-country understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of using foreign labor for eldercare in private homes.

This study aimed to examine the association of MME with enrollment in health insurance and its moderating effect on the associations of education and wealth with enrollment in health insurance among older adults in India. The data of 29,935 older adults aged 60 years and older from the first wave (baseline) of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI-2017/18) were utilized. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, multivariable logistic regression models, and Fairlie decomposition were used. The findings revealed that 18.3% of older adults had MME and enrollment in health insurance in India. Older adults with MME were 1.42 times more likely to be enrolled in health insurance than those with no MME, and years of schooling increased the probability of enrolling in health insurance compared to those who did not have formal schooling. With increasing monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE), the probability of enrolling in health insurance is lower than the poorest. Further, MME moderates the effects of education and MPCE on enrollment in health insurance and increases the likelihood of enrollment in health insurance. The study's findings imply strategic communication plans to encourage health insurance enrollment in India should take into account the usage of these communication channels.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
