This has prompted the need to advance academic discourse beyond simply reporting high levels of satisfaction in older adult's housing surveys. This study attempts to achieve this by using empirical data gathered through a mixed quantitative and qualitative research approach conducted with older adults in Slovenia. While the quantitative survey revealed generally high levels of satisfaction, the qualitative face-to-face interviews revealed numerous deficiencies, irrespective of whether older adults tended to express satisfaction with their dwellings. Therefore, our findings suggest that attributes such as ownership, period of residence, and neighborhood relations are far more important in determining housing satisfaction. Thus, we conclude that policies and programs for modifying housing for older adults must be based on a deeper understanding of their specific needs. During the policy formulation process and the implementation of specific housing improvement programs, emphasis should be placed on the social-historical aspects related to the lifestyle of each specific older adult.","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":"142569995","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}

The Elderly Family Planning Subsidy (EFPS) policy was introduced to provide extra financial support to this group and was expanded nationwide in 2012. This study investigated the relationship between EFPS use and health among EFPS-eligible older Chinese using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A total of 1,981 respondents were eligible for EFPS (i.e. aged 60 and above, had only one child, or were rural residents with two daughters). Respondents self-reported if they received EFPS in 2011, 2013, and 2015 and were followed up to 2018. Propensity score matching was used to match EFPS non-users with users based on their probability of using EFPS. Among the EFPS-eligible respondents, 256 (12.92%) used the benefit. Analysis revealed no significant differences between EFPS users and non-users with respect to mortality and other health outcomes (i.e. self-reported health, cognition, activities of daily living, chronic diseases, and depressive symptoms). Findings do not provide evidence that EFPS improved the short-term health of older Chinese with only one child.","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":"142569947","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}

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}

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}
