The program comprised the following three components: raising awareness; understanding older adults, including those with dementia; and learning about community support for older adults. A quasi-experimental design with an intervention group and a control group was used. The intervention group showed significant improvements compared with the control group regarding intention to help, recognition of the need for help, knowledge of dementia, and attitudes toward people with dementia. In conclusion, a comprehensive educational program that combines knowledge acquisition and experiential learning can effectively improve young students' attitudes and intentions to help.

A sample of 199 older adults in Taiwan was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA). Results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions significantly impact purchase intention, whereas the hypothesized negative impact of perceived risk on purchase intention was not supported. Self-efficacy enhances perceived usability and helps mitigate perceived risk, while IPMA results identify social influence as the most important factor influencing purchase intention. These findings highlight the potential of smartwatches to promote active aging by supporting health monitoring, independence, and quality of life. Practically, marketers should enhance usability, leverage social influence, and offer accessible support to strengthen purchase intention toward smartwatches among older adults.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1111-1124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144592686","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}

Chronic multimorbidity, widowhood, and divorce/separation are common in late adulthood, but may have different impacts for racially/ethnically diverse populations along with cumulatively disadvantaged social and living conditions over time. We examined the associations between divorce/separation and widowhood, race/ethnicity, and multimorbidity among 8625 Americans aged 50 and above. Leveraging 2018 Health and Retirement Study data, we employed binomial logistic regression (using the logistic command in Stata) to analyze whether married/partnered adults in 2010 experienced marital loss and developed multimorbidity by 2018. Widowhood was not associated with chronic illness or multimorbidity among any racial/ethnic groups, whereas divorce/separation was associated with elevated odds of chronic condition(s) only for non-Hispanic Black older adults. Findings suggest that among racially/ethnically minoritized older adults, divorce/separation could cause worse late-life chronic health condition(s) than widowhood. Marital and racial-ethnic trajectories of multimorbidity need to be further examined.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"1169-1179"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660720","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}

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a culturally sensitive ACD (Five Wishes), versus a standard state directive, on ACP engagement and value congruence scores among Black and White Americans. A race-stratified sample of 189 participants was randomized into ACD conditions. Race and condition were not independent predictors of ACP and value congruence engagement. Physician trust predicted ACP engagement and value congruence differentially. Results indicate that the use of state directives negatively impacts trust among Black Americans, which negatively impacts ACP engagement. Primary limitations include metrics of ACP/ACD completion, sample size, and demographic distribution. Findings add to the growing body of literature implying that values-driven, person-centered directives may increase engagement and reduce the disparity in ACP between Black and White Americans, promoting better quality, equitable care at the end of life.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648261444783"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844121","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}

Understanding existing community-based models of engagement is essential for identifying effective, scalable solutions. Adult Social Day Services (ASDS) offer opportunities for socialization and cognitive engagement for individuals who require minimal assistance with activities of daily living. Although promising, ASDS programs are used unevenly, and their overall effectiveness remains unclear. To address this gap, we conducted a parallel convergent mixed-methods study using data from a fee-based ASDS program located at a senior center in a northeastern U.S. town. Using a population-level survey, stakeholder focus groups, and in-depth interviews with current and former participants and their families, we examined the program from multiple perspectives. Findings suggest the ASDS model has strong potential for scaling, replication, and adaptation as a community-based dementia intervention, with benefits for participant well-being and caregiver support.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648261448267"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844063","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}
