FOSTERING MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOLUTIONS IN AGING: THE RESEARCH CENTERS COLLABORATIVE NETWORK
Authors: Kritchevsky Stephen , van der Willik Odette 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The NIA supports the Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) to build collaborations between scientists from the 6 NIA-sponsored center programs: Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers, Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging, Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers, Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging, Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research, and Roybal Centers for Translational Research on Aging. RCCN's premise is that researchers from different disciplines are most likely to collaborate when they are addressing common problems. To provide a forum for collaborative exchange, the RCCN has convened 6 workshops on topics that cross-cut the concerns of the various NIA center programs ranging from sustaining behavior change in older adults to measuring biologic age. After each Workshop the RCCN awards pilot funds related to the theme. This symposium will present key learnings from the workshops and present work of four RCCN pilot teams from the third and fourth workshops which focused on resilience and reserve, and life course perspectives on aging. Dr. Ramos will discuss how measurement of psychological resilience may predict physical resilience in older patients with lung cancer, while Dr. Reid will discuss positive affect as a source of resilience for older adults with chronic pain. Dr. White will discuss association between perceived discrimination trajectories and multimorbidity burden among middle-aged and older black adults, while Dr. Brooks will discuss development of a resilience index in chronic musculoskeletal pain. Dr. Kritchevsky will also summarize lessons learned across the first 6 workshops.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Background
The CFIR Process domain can be used to evaluate practices that are associated with successful or unsuccessful implementation. The purpose of this study was to understand the processes that led to successful implementation of the PAL Card QIP during the height of the pandemic from the provider champion’s perspective.

Methods
Qualitative interviews with n=11 champions who completed the PAL Card QIP were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded using the CFIR Process Domain.

Results
Major themes regarding the process of implementation included engaging (e.g., staff and family), executing (adapting to different situations), planning (e.g., having a clear plan of implementation), and reflecting and evaluating (e.g., taking time to evaluate the project). Discussion: Providers articulated strategies that contributed to successful implementation during a global pandemic, which can help inform future quality improvement projects. Implications for practice and policy will be discussed.
THE AGE-FRIENDLY UNIVERSITY (AFU) INITIATIVE AND THE CALL FOR MORE AGE-FRIENDLY INTERGENERATIONAL CLASSROOMS
Authors: Montepare Joann 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Changing age demographics are reshaping societies and challenging our living, learning, and work communities to consider how they can respond to more age-diverse, older populations. The pioneering Age-Friendly University (AFU) initiative, endorsed by GSA’s Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE), calls for institutions of higher education to respond to these shifting demographics through more age-friendly programs, practices, and partnerships. Moreover, the 10 AFU Principles recommend a set of specific educational options including the promotion of intergenerational learning to facilitate the reciprocal sharing of expertise between learners of all ages. This presentation provides an overview of the AFU initiative with a focus on strategies for intergenerational teaching and learning. It sets the stage for the other presentations by describing core questions and considerations educators should take into account when mounting intergenerational practices in and beyond the classroom.
NEIGHBORHOOD DISADVANTAGE AND COGNITION AMONG AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE BALTIMORE STUDY OF BLACK AGING
Authors: Morgan Adrienne Aiken 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Previous research has suggested an important and understudied association between neighborhood disadvantage and cognitive functioning among older African Americans. Data from the Baltimore Study of Black Aging (N=602) was utilized to examine the associations between Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and cognition. Multiple stepwise regression models, controlling for age, sex, education, and income, showed participants who scored better on measures of immediate memory, vocabulary, reasoning, and everyday cognition had lower ADI (less disadvantaged neighborhoods; p &lt; .05). Interestingly, individuals living with higher ADI had better attention/working memory scores and better self-reported memory (p &lt; .05). ADI was significantly associated with improvements or declines in performance, depending on the cognitive ability (e.g., learning and memory, working memory, global mental status, and visuospatial skill, p &lt; .05). These findings suggest the importance of accounting for neighborhood context in African Americans’ cognitive aging research.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Research has shown that socioeconomic factors influence physical mobility; however, less is known about the influence of neighborhood disadvantage on mobility among African American older adults. Data from the Baltimore Study of Black Aging (N=602) were used to examine associations between neighborhood disadvantage, as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and self-reported mobility limitations. Two-step logistic regression showed that participants residing in more disadvantaged neighborhoods, based on national ADI, had higher odds of mobility limitations, but those in less disadvantaged neighborhoods, based on state ADI, had higher odds of mobility limitations (national: OR = 1.02 (95% CI: 1.00–1.03); state: OR = 0.78 (95% CI: 0.65–0.92)). Stratified models showed the association was significant only within women (national: OR = 1.02 (95% CI: 1.00–1.04); state: OR = 0.77 (0.63-0.95)). These findings suggest that neighborhood disadvantage is an essential consideration when examining mobility limitations among African Americans.
PANDEMIC-SPECIFIC SUPPORTS AND CHALLENGES: ASSOCIATIONS WITH DEMENTIA CAREGIVER WELL-BEING
Authors: Leggett Amanda , Koo Hyun Jung , Connell Cathleen , Gitlin Laura , Kales Helen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This study examines the prevalence of pandemic-specific care supports and challenges (e.g., increased support from family and friends, difficulty accessing respite care, confusion on public health guidelines) and associations with stress and well-being among 100 family caregivers for persons living with dementia interviewed in 2021. Pandemic care challenges were common- 52% reported a decrease in support from family and friends, 43% had difficulty accessing medical care, and 31% had difficulty getting needed in-home and out-of-home services. Accounting for demographics and the care context, difficulties accessing various types of respite care (e.g., paid respite care, respite from family/friends) were associated with caregiver stress, burden, and less positive affect. Pandemic supports, including increased support from family and friends and receiving information on COVID-care were associated with greater positive affect, but not caregiver stress. While care-supports enhanced well-being, efforts to help caregivers take breaks from caregiving may have significant impact on reducing stress.
ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN COVID-19 PERCEPTIONS AND PREVENTIVE BEHAVIORS IN DEMENTIA CAREGIVING DYADS
Authors: Liang Jiaming , Aranda Maria , Jang Yuri 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This study adopted a dyadic perspective to examine how the perceptions of COVID-19 (i.e., anxiousness & hopefulness) of dementia caregiving dyads are associated with their engagement in personal (e.g., washing hands, wearing mask) and social (e.g., avoiding physical contact and going restaurants/bars) preventive behaviors. Multiple cross-sectional Actor-Partner Interdependence Models (APIMs) were estimated using data from the 2020 NHATS/NSOC COVID-19 Supplements (N=1565). In the anxiousness models, participants’ own feeling of anxiousness was associated with their own engagement in personal preventive behaviors (actor effects), and the perceived anxiousness of PLWD was associated with personal preventive behaviors of caregivers (partner effect). In the model on social preventive behaviors, both actor and partner effects were found on dementia caregiving dyads. No effect was found in the models on hopefulness. Our findings extend understandings of mutual influence within the caregiving dyads and demonstrate the possibility of developing interventions for caregivers to promote PLWD’s health behaviors.
THINK OF THE SITUATION IN A POSITIVE LIGHT: COGNITIVE REAPPRAISAL, AFFECTIVE REACTIVITY, AND HEALTH
Authors: Maras Jessica , Leger Kate 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Cognitive reappraisal is an emotion regulation strategy that benefits health and well-being, but it is currently unclear why this relationship exists. The current study examined how adults react affectively to daily stressful events as a mediating pathway between cognitive reappraisal and health and well-being outcomes across a 20-year period. Participants (N = 1,814) completed waves 1-3 of the Midlife in the United States survey series and the National Study of Daily Experiences, an 8-day daily diary. Results found that negative affective reactivity to daily stressors mediated the relationship between cognitive reappraisal and future health outcomes including the development of chronic conditions, functional limitations, and affective disorders. Exploratory analyses revealed that specific negative emotions, including being nervous and irritable explained this relationship. Findings from this study suggest that strengthening cognitive reappraisal skills may be a good way to reduce affective reactions to daily stressors and enhance long-term health and well-being outcomes.
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME: CHANGE AND CONTINUITY IN ENDURING SOCIAL TIES
Authors: Koumoutzis Athena , Cichy Kelly 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Enduring social ties with family and friends hold important implications for health and well-being across adulthood. Social relationships are simultaneously sources of support and strain, and both positive and negative aspects of relationships change daily and over time. This symposium explores continuity and change in relationship strains (i.e., conflicts, support needs) experienced in the context of enduring social relationships, particularly in response to anticipated and emerging needs for support in later life. First, Meinertz, Gilligan, and Suitor use qualitative data from spousal dyads to compare mothers’ and fathers’ explanations of which adult child they prefer as their future caregiver. Next, using longitudinal data across two waves, Bui, Kim, and Fingerman investigate how different types of past support exchanges between parents and adult children are associated with older parents’ care receipt and expectations. Third, Koumoutzis, Cichy, and Kinney explore the association between change in parental disability and adult children’s intergenerational ambivalence (i.e., both positive and negative sentiments), including the extent to which adult children’s stress and reward appraisals mediate the link between parental disability and ambivalence. Kyungmin and colleagues explore how older adults (age 62-76) felt burden in their relationship with their very old parents (age 81-101) and what factors are associated with feelings of burden across two cultural contexts, the U.S. and Korea. Lastly, using ecological momentary assessment, Birditt and colleagues examine longitudinal trajectories of negative ties (i.e., irritating, demanding) and the links between daily positive and negative social interactions and emotional well-being.
USING INTENSIVE LIFESPAN DATA TO GAIN DEEPER INSIGHT INTO COPING AND EMOTION REGULATION PROCESSES
Authors: Growney Claire , Bellingtier Jennifer , Aldwin Carolyn 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Effective coping and emotion regulation are important for well-being across the lifespan. Successful maintenance or improvement in these processes are often invoked as explanations for age-related stability or enhancement of well-being. In this symposium, we leverage intensive data to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals manage daily emotions and stressors, critically examining evidence for age-related differences and similarities. Growney and English used experience sampling to examine interpersonal emotion regulation in adults aged 25-85, finding a negative association between age and interpersonal emotion regulation strategy use, but evidence suggesting more effective interpersonal emotion regulation in older age. Bellingtier and colleagues present evidence for age similarity in flexible emotion regulation strategy use across hassle domains in an experience sampling study of adolescents and adults aged 14-88, noting that hassle domain differentiation was associated with emotion regulation strategy use. O’Brien and Neupert used daily diaries to examine associations between daily stressor appraisals and affect in adults aged 60-90, identifying daily negative self-views of aging as a moderator which may be particularly consequential in older adulthood. Cerino and colleagues used data from the National Study of Daily Experiences to examine relationships between perceived stressor control and daily affect, highlighting differing findings across domains of interpersonal stressors. Finally, a discussion will center on the value of considering both age-related similarities and differences, age-relevant factors for successful emotion regulation and coping (e.g., negative and positive aspects of social relationships, views of aging), diverse contexts in which these processes occur, and statistical considerations with micro-longitudinal approaches.
MOMENTARY INTERPERSONAL EMOTION REGULATION IN AN ADULT LIFESPAN SAMPLE
Authors: Growney Claire , English Tammy 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Older adults are theorized to maintain emotional well-being by drawing on their available resources, such as social partners who support their emotional goals. In the present study, adults (N = 290) age 25-85 completed an experience sampling procedure (6x/day for 10 days) in which they reported their current emotions and use of interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) strategies. Unexpectedly, older age was associated with lower overall use of IER strategies. Results from multilevel models indicate that within-person associations between IER strategy use and positive affect were strongest among older adults, with older adults experiencing highest positive affect on occasions where they report engaging in IER. Between-person associations between IER strategy use and negative affect were only present among younger and middle-aged adults, indicating that younger individuals who use IER more on average tend to have higher negative affect. Findings highlight the role of social partners in older adults’ emotional wellbeing.
MOMENTARY EMOTION REGULATION ACROSS HASSLE DOMAINS
Authors: Bellingtier Jennifer , Luong Gloria , Wrzus Cornelia , Wagner Gert , Riediger Michaela 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Adapting emotion-regulation strategy use to flexibly match contextual features of a hassle is thought to aid in effective coping. We investigated if hassle domains are a pertinent feature for understanding emotion-regulation strategy selection in the everyday lives of adolescents through older adults. Participants, ranging from 14 to 88 years old (N = 325), completed an experience sampling study of approximately 9 days over a 3-week period. At each momentary assessment, participants reported on their affect, hassles, and emotion-regulation strategies. Our findings indicated that strategy use varied by domain. For example, distraction was most common in the health domain, whereas emotion expression was least likely to be used at work or school. More strategies were used when hassles were associated with multiple domains. However, greater domain differentiation was not associated with reduced hassle reactivity. Findings were similar across ages suggesting domains may similarly relate to strategy selection across the lifespan.
A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE RISK REDUCTION: WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE’RE HEADED
Authors: Omura John , Jackson Eva , O'Brien Kelly 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
A growing body of evidence has identified potential modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). In 2021, the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease (National Plan) included a new goal to promote healthy aging and address risk factors to help delay onset or slow progression of ADRD. Applying a robust public health approach to ADRD risk reduction can help achieve meaningful progress at the population level. The activities outlined in the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act (P.L. 115-406) are designed to create a uniform national public health infrastructure with a focus on various issues including risk reduction. The purpose of this session is to illustrate a public health approach to ADRD risk reduction, including its current status along with future directions and priorities. An overview of the National Plan’s new goal regarding ADRD risk reduction (McGuire) and data highlighting the current burden of key modifiable risk factors in the United States along with important disparities (Omura) will be presented. Holt will describe how ADRD risk reduction is integrated into the work of BOLD funding recipients, and Head will present experiences implementing public health activities that support ADRD risk reduction in the field along with successes and lessons learned. Finally, priorities and future directions for a public health approach to ADRD risk reduction will be presented from the perspective of the CDC’s Building Our Largest Dementia Infrastructure Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Risk Reduction (Baumgart).
THE EVOLUTION OF A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO ADRD AND THE ROLE OF RISK REDUCTION
Authors: McGuire Lisa , Jackson Eva 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
CDC, through the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) and Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure Act, is working to advance cognitive and brain health as integral components of public health practice, to keep older Americans healthy and independent as long as possible. HBI promotes brain health as part of public health practice and BOLD strives to build a uniform public health infrastructure. Both HBI and BOLD focus not only on people with cognitive decline or dementia but also their health care providers and caregivers. Recently, the 2021 Alzheimer’s Disease National Plan added Goal 6, Accelerate Action to Promote Healthy Aging and Reduce Risk Factors for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias. This presentation will describe the evolution of public health’s role with respect to brain health and caregiving and how the national priority on risk reduction and healthy aging can be beneficial to the health and well-being of older adults.
IMPLEMENTATION OF MULTIMODAL INTERVENTIONS FOR CAREGIVERS OF OLDER ADULTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS
Authors: Hazzan Afeez , Haibach-Beach Pamela , Lieberman Lauren 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
There is a paucity of research on the impact of caregiving on the quality of life of unpaid caregivers for older adults aged 60 years or older with visual impairments (VI). The purpose of this study is to test multimodal interventions to improve quality of life and well-being in unpaid caregivers of older adults with VI. The objectives were: (1) to implement multimodal interventions targeted towards improving the quality of life of family caregivers of older adults with a VI; (2) to evaluate the efficacy/effectiveness of the interventions in improving the quality of life of older adults with a VI. The outcomes of interest include: quality of life, health, stress, burden, problem-solving, and barriers. For this study, a 10-week virtual intervention was implemented with 12 caregivers and eight older adults with visual impairments, for a total of 20 participants. The intervention was held for one hour for 10 consecutive weeks and included activities such as tai chi, yoga, meditation, music, nutrition, and other de-stressing techniques. Participants completed a series of questionnaires before and after the intervention period. These questionnaires include: Satisfaction with Life Scale, Living Arrangement and Indicators of Social Interaction survey, Caregiver quality of life (EQ-5D), the Perceived Change Index, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Findings from the data analysis show excellent caregiver engagement throughout, including participation in the pre and post surveys. Results show the benefits of multimodal interventions for caregivers as well as older adults with VI. Future studies should focus on interventions that are most promising.
