The Texas A&m Center for Population Health and Aging
Year: 2018
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: This university-wide Center promotes population health and successful aging through innovations in research, education, and practice that examine social, behavioral, economic, environmental, and technological solutions linking academic and real-world settings. Topical areas of interest include promoting evidence-based practices for chronic disease prevention and management; building healthy communities; exploring interactions between health, aging and technology; enhancing geriatric care in both human and animal populations; and growing the pipeline of experts in gerontology and geriatrics. Working collaboratively with colleagues across diverse fields, we engage in basic and applied research that advances knowledge about the design and evaluation of multi-level interventions to promote health, prevent disease, postpone disability among older adults, and create more age-friendly environment. The Center presentation will focus on successes and challenges in conducting local, state, and national evaluations of evidence-based programming for older adults.
