摘要

摘要基于环境支持是老年人弱势群体参与正式志愿服务的重要促进因素这一前提，我们将重点关注独居的低收入老年人。根据环境顺从性假设，我们研究了居住在养老院对志愿服务可能性的影响。数据来自2012年的健康退休研究浪潮（N=1415）。从倾向得分得出的核心权重用于解释观察到的与老年住房生活和结果相关的社会人口统计学和健康特征。Logistic回归模型显示，在调整了个人和环境因素后，居住在养老院对正式志愿服务的参与产生了积极影响。作为成功健康老龄化干预的可修改目标，我们的研究结果为弱势老年人住房专项志愿者计划的制定和实施提供了重要的背景知识。

Formal Volunteering among Vulnerable Older Adults from an Environmental Perspective: Does Senior Housing Matter?

ABSTRACT Based on the premise that environmental support is an important facilitator for engagement in formal volunteering among vulnerable subgroups of older adults, we focus on older low-income individuals who live alone. Drawing on the environmental docility hypothesis, we examine the role living in senior housing has on the likelihood of volunteering. Data came from the 2012 wave of the Health Retirement Study (N = 1415). Kernel weights derived from propensity scores were used to account for observed sociodemographic and health characteristics associated with both senior housing living and the outcome. Logistic regression models showed that living in senior housing positively affected engagement in formal volunteering after adjusting for personal and environmental factors. As a modifiable target of intervention for successful and healthy aging, our findings provide important background knowledge for the development and implementation of housing-specific volunteer programs for vulnerable elders.

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
