Headline: ANNUAL REPORT ON NATION'S HEALTH SPOTLIGHTS ELDERLY AMERICANS
HHS Secretary Donna E. Shalala today released a new report showing that
a
growing and increasingly diverse elderly population in the U.S. is
living
longer
but still faces health challenges as the next century approaches.
"Health, United States, 1999," the annual "report card" on the nation's
health
produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC)
National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), features a special chart book this
year on
the aging population in the U.S.
"With the arrival of the new millennium comes the reality that in the
next 30
years, one out of five people in this country will be over the age of
65,"
Secretary Shalala said. "In planning for the nation's health care in
the next
century, we cannot ignore this group. That is why it is important now
more
than
ever that we modernize Medicare's benefits and strengthen its finances
for
years
to come."
"Many older people are in good health and leading active lives in the
community.
However, a significant number of persons over age 85 still have chronic
illnesses and disabilities that limit their ability to fully
participate in
everyday activities," said CDC Director Jeffrey Koplan. "As life spans
increase
we must help all of our citizens prepare for a healthy old age. People
of all
ages should be tobacco-free, eat right, and keep physically active so
their
golden years will be healthy years."
Life expectancy for older Americans has increased over the past 50
years.
Based
on current mortality rates, a 65-year-old person in 1997 could on
average
expect
to live to be nearly 83 years old; an 85-year-old in 1997 could expect
to live
to be over 90.
"The increase in life expectancy is one of the great achievements of
the 20th
century," says Richard M. Suzman, Ph.D., associate director for
behavioral and
social research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the
National
Institutes of Health. "In the next century, as research increases our
understanding of health and aging, we can look forward to spending more
of the
added years in better health."
Contributing to longer life expectancy is the significant and long-term
decline
in mortality, especially from heart disease. Death rates from heart
disease
among persons 65-84 have been reduced by about half since 1970; among
those
aged
85 and over, death rates from heart disease have dropped 21 percent
over the
same time period.
Examining the quality of those added years of life, the report shows
that most
older persons are not severely limited in their daily activities
despite
living
with chronic conditions. A majority of noninstitutionalized persons 70
years of
age and over reported they suffered from arthritis, and approximately
one-third
reported they had hypertension. Diabetes was reported by 11 percent.
Overall, less than 10 percent of noninstitutionalized persons 70 years
of age
and over were unable to perform one or more activities of daily living
(e.g.,
bathing, dressing, using the toilet) in 1995. However, this disability
increased with age from close to 5 percent among persons 70-74 years of
age to
nearly 22 percent among persons 85 years of age and over.
Other findings on the health status of the elderly:
In 1995, 39 percent of noninstitutionalized persons 70 years of age and
over
used assistive devices such as hearing aids, diabetic and respiratory
equipment,
and canes and walkers during the previous 12 months.
Seven out of 10 non-disabled persons 65 years of age and over
participated in
some form of exercise at least once in a recent two-week period, such
as
walking, gardening, and stretching. Still, only about one-third of
persons
who
exercised achieved recommended levels.
Almost all elderly persons have Medicare coverage. However,
non-Hispanic
black
and Hispanic elderly persons were less likely than non-Hispanic white
persons to
have private insurance to supplement their Medicare coverage.
Approximately 12 percent of Medicare enrollees 65 years of age and over
were in
managed care plans in 1997. For the U.S. population as a whole, HMO
enrollment
increased to 29 percent in 1998.
"Health, United States, 1999," features more than a hundred tables

strategies. Twelve leading scholars will present papers that summarize
exciting research findings that can lead to interventions. Following
the
author presentations, a specially selected group of discussants will be
asked to present alternative points of view. In addition, a special
symposium on February 3 will address the application of behavioral and
social science findings to the public health needs of Georgia.
The symposium is co-sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and
Prevention (CDC), Emory University, and the Morehouse School of
Medicine,
while the study itself is supported by the Robert W. Woodruff
Foundation in
Atlanta, GA.

Of Significance...
A Call for Papers
A new publication, Of Significance..., will focus on
confidentiality and disclosure in its second issue. We invite
you to contribute to this publication through the preparation
of an article directed to consumers of public data in general
and users of public use data in particular. Issues of interest
for this issue include:
Policy: What policies currently govern release of social
science research information and where might those
policies go in the future?
Practice: What techniques are currently available to
anonymize data for release to the public and what are
their impacts on analysis?
Prognostication: What might the future bring in light of
the nearly universal access provided by the internet?
The article should be 5 to 10 pages in length single-spaced,
two-column format. It should also be written for an audience
with a keen interest in the impact of privacy and
confidentiality requirements on data availability and use but
for whom the technical topics of disclosure protection are
somewhat unfamiliar.
We encourage you to contribute to this important publication.
To do so, please submit an abstract (one page or less) by
November 1, 1999, to:

JOBS: NIA Postdoc at U. of
Minnesota
|
Dear Graduate Student,
I am writing to tell you about an exciting post-doctoral research
opportunity at the University of Minnesota's Center on Aging. A few
years
ago, the Center on Aging received a fellowship from the National
Institute
on Aging to support post-docs interested in various aspects of
gerontological research and long-term care. The NIA training program
represents an excellent chance to conduct research and refine your
professional objectives with exceptional senior investigators: Robert
Kane, M. D. (1998 Polisher Award Recipient), Rosalie Kane, D. S. W.
(1999
Kent Award Recipient), Helen Kivnick, Ph. D. (Associate Professor,
School
of Social Work), Pauline Boss, Ph. D. (Professor, Family and Social
Science), and a variety of others who specialize in a wide range of
substative areas. Some of the ongoing research projects at the Center
on
Aging include:
*developing quality of life measures for NH residents
*evaluating assisted living
*evaluating dual eligible projects
*evaluating EverCare
*developing a demonstration project to bundle hospital and post-acute
care payments
*technical assistance to SHMO II
*working with Alzheimers caregivers
*falls prevention
*testing extended care clinical pathways
*GEM evaluation
I myself am an NIA post-doc at the Center on Aging, and I have found
the
resources at my disposal superb. Having the chance to work with both
Bob
and Rosalie Kane has further rounded my graduate training and opened a
number of doors that significantly increase my professional options. In
addition, the flexibility of the post-doc program provides the right
balance of guidance and independence to fully establish my own program
of
gerontological research (i.e., grant funding). There are other
opportunities to further one's professional development; a post-doc can
teach and even design her/his own course related to aging, or directly
advise undergraduate and graduate students interested in the field of
gerontology. Finally, since it is housed in the School of Public Health
(one of the finest in the country), the Center on Aging can tap
resources
that fit the individualized needs of each post-doc, and there a number
of
individuals university-wide that are eager to collaborate with
post-docs
on various research projects.
In sum, I highly recommend the NIA Postdoctoral Training Program to
anyone
looking for a rewarding post-doctoral experience! Take a look at the
Center on Aging web site at http://www.umn.edu/coa for additional
information. And, please feel free to call or email me if you are
interested in applying (the application process continues until the
positions are filled).
Sincerely,

FUNDING: NIA Strategic
Plan
|
The draft NIA strategic plan can be reviewed at the NIA's HomePage
(http://www.nih.gov/nia/plan/stratplan.htm).
The plan can also be accessed from the NIA website's home page
(http://www.nih.gov/nia) either
by clicking first on "What's New" and then on "Strategic Plan" or by
clicking on "Strategic Plan" in the banner menu. The web site provides
a means of sending comments and reactions to the NIA.
Director¹s Message
Since its inception in 1974, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) has
been supporting outstanding research to address the special problems
and needs of older Americans and to improve scientific understanding of
the aging process. In 1999, the NIA began a year-long celebration of
its 25th anniversary, providing an appropriate time for reflection on
past achievements and future opportunities in the field of aging
research. The NIA strategic plan is a document that, in the context of
this history, presents a road map for the future.
The remarkable growth of the older population world-wide poses both
opportunities and challenges. Notable progress in a number of areas of
research‹biomedical, social, and behavioral‹have improved health and
function, and contributed to reduced rates of disability, for older
people. At the same time, unprecedented numbers of elders in the coming
decades will face the risks of disease, frailty, and dependence. The
need to understand the factors that promote health and independence and
those that lead to disease and disability has never been more urgent.
Fortunately, a strong aging research community is actively engaged in
reducing the burden of disease and improving the quality of life of
older people and their families.
In developing a new strategic plan for aging research, the National
Institute on Aging has collaborated closely with the National Advisory
Council on Aging and other public and private organizations to
establish research priorities for the next five years. These priorities
will address scientific topics that hold the greatest promise for
advancing knowledge in areas such as the basic biology of aging,
geriatrics, and social and behavioral functioning.. Because the NIA is
the lead agency for research on Alzheimer¹s disease, the NIA plan
reflects its commitment to preventing and effectively treating
Alzheimer¹s disease.
I am pleased to introduce this first public presentation of the NIA
draft strategic plan and welcome your thoughts, ideas, and insights on
refining the plan¹s goals and objectives.
Richard Hodes, M.D.
Director, NIA

Dear Colleagues,
Remember that proposals for papers, posters, and symposium as part of
Division 20's program at APA on August 4-8, 2000 are due on November
15th.
For your convenience, I can the APA's Call for Programs, which includes
information about submitting proposals as well as the required forms
(to
receive these, e-mail me at the address below). You can also download
them
directly from the APA site, at http://www.apa.org
There are plenty of opportunities for participation in the program,
especially via posters. We can easily accommodate 100 or so posters in
multiple sessions. The sessions will permit ample time for viewing
posters
and discussions with authors and among authors.
Speaking of posters, don't forget the Student Poster Presentation
Award.
The Division will be honoring the student author of the best poster
presentation with a certificate and a check for $250! The student award
process is simple. Students indicate that they are students on the
poster
submission and include a letter
from a faculty member stating that the paper represents the student's
work.
Even if you do not submit a proposal, do plan on coming to APA! It is a
chance to meet old friend and make new ones, learn about the latest
developments in our field, hear from the leaders in the field, find out
about new directions for aging research from the senior staff of the
National Institute on Aging, and discuss the National Research
Council's
recommendations on cognitive aging research (scheduled for release in
spring of 2000). All this and you get to experience Washington in
August!
Don't forget that registering for the annual meeting helps your
Division,
too. Our allotted programming hours are determined by the number of
registrants from our Division for the prior year's convention. So, the
more
of us who attend, the more opportunities for future participation there
are.
I am looking forward to your program proposals and to seeing you next
August in Washington.

FUNDING: AARP/Andrus
schol.-fellow. program, geront. & aging
|
Dear Colleagues: I believe Amy Pienta may have sent out the
announcement
below. In the past (since a given institution can only send out one
person), we have had an internal IoG competition for these prestigious
awards. Several years ago, Jason Allaire won "alternate" (i.e., "first
runner up" for beauty pageant afficionados) status in this national
competition when he represented the IoG.
Because this award would pay for much of the cost of a doctoral-level
GRA
award, I suspect we should mount a strong candidate. Thus, if there are
faculty/students interested in pursuing this (I think we could put
forward
one Masters-Level and one Doctoral-Level candidate), maybe we should
discuss a mechanism for internal decision making. Peter?
Thanks, Michael
The Association for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) will in
2000-2001 administer for the eighth straight year the AARP Andrus
Foundation graduate scholarship and fellowship program in gerontology
and
aging studies. Applications for these awards are now being solicited.
Three fellowships for $15,000 each will be awarded for one year to
doctoral-level students in gerontology or aging studies. The equivalent
of
five full-year scholarships for $7,000 each will be awarded to
master's-level students in gerontology and will be available for either
half-year or full-year study. Once again, two scholarships are
designated
specifically for master's level students who are pursuing terminal
master's
degrees or pre-doctoral study in applied gerontology, i.e., in areas
such
as social work, nursing, or administration.
Gerontology faculty is invited to nominate graduate students for these
awards. Selection will be based on academic excellence, strong faculty
recommendations, and the student's commitment to the field of aging.
Preference will be given to students from AGHE member schools.
Decisions
will be made without regard to race, sex, age, or geographic location.
Nomination packets must be postmarked by February 4, 2000. Further
information bout this program and copies of the application forms may
be
obtained from the AGHE office, 1030 15th Street NW, Suite 240,
Washington,
DC 20005-1503, tel. 202/289-9806. The application is also posted on
AGHE's
website at
http://www.aghe.org <http://www.aghe.org>
The program, funded by a bequest to the AARP Andrus foundation, is
designed
to address the lack of financial assistance available for students in
gerontology and aging studies, and the increasing need for more people
trained in providing services and programs for older persons. AGHE, an
educational unit of the Gerontological society of America, was
established
in 1974 to advance gerontology as a field of study within institutions
of
higher learning and now has a mebership of over 280 institutions of
higher
education and other organizations committed to gerontological and
geriatric
education.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As the Nov. 15 deadline approaches for submitting proposals for papers,
posters, and symposia for Div 20's program at APA 2000, I am receiving
inquiries about faxing or e-mailing proposals to me. You may fax or
e-mail
me a single copy of your proposal not later than Nov. 15th. However,
you
still must send the required number of copies (5) and pre-addressed,
prepaid
envelopes to me at the address below. These constitute the "official"
application to participate in the program. I will accept them so long
as
they are postmarked not later than November 15th.
Multi-authored poster submissions are eligibile for consideration for
the
Student Poster Award. The student should be the first author, since the
work
is supposed to be his/hers. The faculty sponsor, who may be a coauthor,
should include a letter describing the student's role in the research.
Remember to be eligible, the work should be mostly (overwhelmingly?)
the
student's!

INFO: Older Psychologists
Survey
|
A recent APA survey shows that almost 50 percent of older
psychologists, age
55 to 96, have a positive outlook on aging. That and other findings
appear
in a new report, Older Psychologists Survey, which examines how older
psychologists, particularly women, fare within the profession and
within
society. The report is offered by APA's Committee on Women in
Psychology
(CWP), which initiated the study in response to concerns that research
and
practice may not adequately address aging issues. The Older
Psychologists
Survey attempts to address the issues of women and aging.
For the report, APA surveyed 2,000 APA members, age 55 and older, who
were
randomly chosen to answer a 32-item questionnaire. Survey questions
covered
areas such as attitudes toward aging, living arrangements, financial
security, feelings toward retirement and health care providers,
caregiving
and life satisfaction. The response rate was 57.5 percent.
The report also details the respondents' experiences with age
discrimination, how APA may have helped or hindered them as they aged
and
what APA should do for its older members.
To obtain a copy of the free report, call the Women's Programs Office
at
(202) 336-6044. The report is also scheduled to be on APA's Web Site in
early 2000.

Technology & Aging Series

=== Apologies for any cross-postings ===
Dear Division 20 listserv members,
some of you may be at GSA in a couple of days, and I would
like to draw your attention to the series of events
organized by the Formal Interest Group "Technology and
Aging" (GSA-TAG).
Due to an unfortunate oversight, the sessions are not marked
as sponsored by GSA-TAG in the official program.
GSA-TAG features four symposia on training modalities for elderly
on PCs, distance communication, methodology, and assistive
technology, as well as an educational session and a workshop.
The program (including abstracts) is accessible at:
http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~expert/GSATAG/
This may also be a chance for those who can't make it to
San Francisco to get some impressions of our activities.
Sincerely yours
Sunkyo Kwon
Co-Convener

The Institute on Aging and Division of Aging, Department of
Health Policy and Epidemiology, at the University of
Florida, seeks to fill five tenure track faculty positions.
Four positions are at the rank of assistant professor. The
fifth may be at the rank of associate professor for a
qualified candidate with the experience, potential and
energy to warrant consideration as the Institute's Associate
Director for Research. Applicants must have a Ph.D.,
Dr.P.H. or equivalent in the social or behavioral sciences,
epidemiology, health services research or a related health
science discipline, or other field (e.g., engineering) with

Faculty (Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health
Related Professions, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine).
These tenure-line positions are twelve-month appointments
and include a maximum teaching load of one course per year.
The successful candidate is expected to have strong
quantitative skills as well as excellent verbal and written
communication abilities. Preference will be given to
candidates with 2-6 years post-doctoral experience in an
aging-related area and a demonstrated track record of
research publication and grantsmanship, but entry-level
applicants who show significant promise for developing an
outstanding record of publishing and external funding will
also be given consideration. The candidate will be expected
to help further the Institute's and the Department's
research programs by establishing her/his own extramurally
funded research, as well as collaborating with other
investigators throughout the University of Florida.
The Institute on Aging is a newly established
university-wide Institute charged with coordinating existing
aging-related research and education and building a premier
academic aging program through faculty recruitment and
development. The Department of Health Policy and
Epidemiology is an interdisciplinary unit consisting of six
doctoral-level faculty trained in epidemiology, medicine,
sociology, health services organizations, and health policy
that is undergoing a rapid expansion. The department also
has affiliate faculty from a number of other departments
including Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, OB/GYN and
Pharmacology. Affiliated units with an aging focus at the
University of Florida include the Center for Gerontological
Studies, the Geriatric Education Center, the Geriatric
Research, Education and Clinical Center, the Claude Denson
Pepper Center for Research on Oral Health and Aging, the
Division of Adult and Elderly Nursing, and the Seniors
Institute for Transportation and Communication. In
addition, significant additional opportunities exist with
the Shands HealthCare delivery system, which includes seven
acute care hospitals, and the North Florida/South Georgia VA
System.
The University of Florida, the seventh largest university in
the nation, is located in Gainesville, Florida, an
exceptionally livable university-oriented community of
approximately 200,000 people. The University of Florida was
recently ranked the 16th best public university by U.S. News
& World Report (Aug 99) and had total research awards of
$300M in 1999. The University of Florida Health Science
Center had total research awards in 1999 exceeding $140M.
The city of Gainesville was ranked the #1 city to live in by
Money Magazine in 1996 and is located within a two-hour
drive of Orlando, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Jacksonville.
Both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean are
accessible within a 75-minute drive.
The review of applications will begin on January 12, 2000,
and continue until suitable candidates are identified.

INFO: Looking for chapter
author
|
Please respond to Walter Lonner (lonner@cc.wwu.edu).
I have been contacted by Walter Lonner to help identify someone who
could
write a chapter on cross-cultural or multicultural counseling and
aging.
Below is a description supplied by the book's editor.
John Cavanaugh
DESCRIPTION:
This is a brief follow-up of the recent correspondence concerning a
possible chapter dealing with gerontological and related topics for
the fifth edition of Counseling Across Cultures. I or any of the other
three co-editors are prepared to answer any questions you, or others,
may want to ask about this revision.
Let me just say that Counseling Across Cultures is probably the
"grandaddy"
of all books whose focus is on cross-cultural or multicultural
counseling.
First published in 1976, we have done our best to keep things current
and
lively. We are adding about five new chapters for the next edition. We
consider it important that one of these chapters deals with a number of
interrelated topics. These include various gerontological issues
pertaining to various ethnic groups in the U.S. and Canada. For
example,
what is the nature of attitudes toward the elderly in the major
subgroups,
or the nature of the support systems they have? What factors account
for
variable patterns of longevity? What are the basic patterns of
attitudes
and beliefs about death and dying among the various groups? Similarly,
what is the nature of bereavement in these groups, and what is the
nature
of adjustment patterns when a spouse or other loved ones die?
Generally,
what is it about the elderly in various ethnic groups and the
inevitable
problems and challenges they face that a professional in the field of
mental health should know?
These possible topics merely scratch the surface, but I hope they paint
a
clear enough picture of what we have in mind.
We are quite close to confirming authors for all the chapters.
Actually,
our last major task is securing authors or co-authors for just two of
the
18 chapters that we have included in our tentative table of contents.
Thus
we hope that we will be able to see positive action regarding this
matter
in the near future.

AWARDS: Division 20
Mentorship Awards
|
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: RRF Mentorship Awards
Nomination letters are due March 1, 2000
Division 20 and the Retirement Research Foundation are sponsoring two
Mentorship Awards in 2000.
The Master Mentor award ($5,000) shall be presented to an established
figure in the field who has had a significant impact on the development
of
the careers of students and junior colleagues in the psychology of
adult
development and aging. This will be an individual who has been a full
professor for at least 10 years. The Master Mentor award will be based
on
the mentoring qualities represented by that individual as well as the
breadth and depth of the individual's impact on the field. The winner
will
be someone who has not only had personal influence on the field, but
someone whose students have also begun to have some influence as well.
The Mentor award ($2500) shall be presented to an individual who has
consistently provided support, guidance, and strong direction to
undergraduate and graduate students in aging and adult development.
This
individual might be someone who resides at a liberal arts institution
or
college that focuses on undergraduate education or it may be an
individual
at a Ph.D.-granting institution who is at an earlier stage of career
development than the Master Mentor. This award will be given to the
individual who has been most actively committed to mentoring and who
best
exemplifies the qualities identified with strong, effective mentoring.
****** Individuals who applied previously for the Division 20
Mentorship
Awards may carry over their complete application to this year by
writing a
letter (one copy only) requesting resubmission of the previous
application.
This letter must be received by March 1, 2000.******
Nominations may be made personally by the nominee or by someone else. A
letter of nomination describing the individual's impact and role as a
mentor should be sent by March 1, 2000. The complete application for
the
award is not due until May 4, 2000.
