Quantitative analyses, conducted using data from 52 rural communities on over 1000 participants, revealed a significant positive correlation between the number of program participation hours and improvements in subjective well-being, as measured using the World Health Organization WHO-5. The findings indicate that community health professionals should adapt ICOPE-based interventions to local contexts by adjusting program intensity, incorporating culturally relevant activities, and strengthening social support networks. Specifically, targeted interventions are needed in regions with lower well-being outcomes. At the policy level, this study underscores the need for regionalized funding models and cross-sectoral collaboration to ensure equitable access to community-based elder care services. The insights derived from this study may also inform the implementation of ICOPE-based health promotion initiatives in other settings, particularly rural or resource-limited settings.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251348702"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intergenerational interactions can alleviate loneliness and isolation. To explore factors affecting and being affected by intergenerational interactions, we conducted interviews with 41 academic and professional experts in the US. The \"4Ps\" framework of social marketing (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion) was used to guide the data analysis. Experts reported benefits or positive outcomes (Product), including improved connectivity/cohesion and intergenerational learning, and risks or concerns (Price) like noise exposure and criminal danger. Experts also highlighted the importance of environmental factors (Place), such as shared public spaces, diverse housing options, and safe, walkable, and accessible environments. They mentioned that personal, social, programmatic, and policy factors (Promotion) are important for intergenerational interactions. Further research is needed to engage other stakeholder groups and investigate the causal impacts of readily modifiable environmental features and how such impacts may vary across diverse population groups.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251347337"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compared several psychological, cognitive, social, and physical health measures between Black women who were confirmed victims of financial exploitation (SAFE participants) and a group of older Black women in the same community with no reported history of exploitation. SAFE participants were significantly older, less educated, and in poorer health than the community comparison participants. They also reported less social support, more depressive and anxiety symptoms, and a higher financial exploitation vulnerability than did the community comparison participants. In a logistic regression analysis, results indicated that only age, education, and financial exploitation vulnerability were associated with the participation of individuals in the SAFE financial exploitation group. The results underscore the multiple ways in which older Black women victims of financial exploitation are vulnerable compared to their community peers who were not exploited.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251347998"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A digitally delivered home exercise program could be an effective way to deliver fall prevention interventions to at-risk older adults. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of at-risk older adults enrolled in a 12-week digitally delivered home-based fall prevention exercise program. Semi-structured interviews (N = 16) were conducted by a user-experience specialist (75% female, age 77.3 years). Participants reported that the program increased exercise intensity and introduced new exercises, such as balance training. Participants highlighted the exercise physiologist motivational coach as a fundamental element of the program to support motivation and adherence. Recommendations for the exercise program included more variety of exercises, individualization of the exercise program, and live virtual interactions. This qualitative analysis provides insight into the acceptability of a digital fall prevention exercise intervention through participant feedback and perception.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251342833"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, care partners often report inadequate technical skills for using technology-based strategies. To address this need, we developed a manualized behavioral intervention called Technology Assistance in Dementia (Tech-AiD). We gathered feedback on the intervention concept from invested partners (10 care partners and 10 healthcare professionals) in a multimethod study. Quantitative results suggested very high intervention acceptability (4.55/5), appropriateness (4.36/5), and feasibility (4.11/5). Qualitative responses indicated a willingness to participate in Tech-AiD if available, described the program as a good fit for the needs of persons living with ADRD and care partners, and suggested that Tech-AiD's delivery format was convenient. Qualitative responses also included specific suggestions to improve Tech-AiD (e.g., creation of a technology helpline, booster sessions). Results provide evidence of Tech-AiD's readiness for a pilot trial.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251348267"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
