Family and Social Resources Workgroup, sponsored by Center on Aging and Health (COAH)
This group comprises an inter-disciplinary group of researchers investigating social determinants of health, including family, social, socioeconomic and caregiving resources. Topics of interest to the group include both social determinants of aging-related conditions (i.e. disease, disability and dementia) and social determinants of healthy aging over the life course. We seek to better understand and strengthen resources of older adults to prevent and manage aging-related conditions and to promote healthy aging. Meetings provide timely feedback related to conceptualization of research questions, study design, psychometric measurement, study implementation, data analyses and interpretation of results. Meetings also support collaborative projects.
When: 4th Tuesday of each month, 8:30-9:30am

Housing and Health Collaborative
The collaborative is convened by Sarah L. Szanton, PhD, RN, FAAN, Dean of the School of Nursing, Craig Pollack, MD, MHS, and Katey Ayers, Professor in the School of Nursing and Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Housing and Health Collaborative brings together researchers from across Johns Hopkins University who—working in conjunction with communities, policymakers, and practitioners—seek to investigate the connection between housing and health, to identify ways healthy housing can be used as a platform to support health and well-being across the life course, and to determine how healthcare can better address housing-related needs. ·
