The number of minority elders, age 65 and older, will grow dramatically over the next thirty years. They, however, remain disproportionately at-risk for preventable chronic diseases. Health promotion and service delivery options responding to chronic disease prevention for minority elders must incorporate culturally responsive techniques and programs.
This workshop will focus research outcomes that have been translated into culturally appropriate service delivery techniques and programs. Participants will be provided with information from a synthesis of evidence-based research, evaluations and projects that highlight culturally responsive programming.
The overall objectives of this workshop are to identify the chronic disease prevention needs of minority elders, and describe at least three interventions and techniques drawn from evidence-based research that can be incorporated to create culturally appropriate quantifiable behavioral outcomes among minority elders.
