See below. (1) CFP: Journal of Elder Policy, Technology: An Underutilized Late-Life Resource Editor-in-Chief: Eva Kahana PhD Distinguished University Professor Department of Sociology Case Western Reserve University Abstracts due by August 15, 2022 (500 words) Full papers due by October 31, 2022 (8,000-10,000 words) In the United States, internet use among older adults has increased greatly, especially over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has showcased that many in-person activities can be adapted to online formats (e.g. social interactions via zoom, grocery delivery, telehealth, fitness classes). While reliance on technology made things easier for some older adults (e.g. grocery delivery), the transition to online platforms exacerbated already present disparities for those struggling with internet use, access, and acceptance. Older adults, especially those with lower income and education level, tend to lag behind. Despite the great benefits and the actual need, some older adults experience growing levels of digital exclusion because they lack the necessary skills and resources to successfully engage with the digital world. Many techniques can be used to remedy digital exclusion, such as enhancing older adults' skill sets, providing supportive learning environments, and utilizing social supports. Technology can be used to accommodate changes in mobility which can affect the frequency of in-person meetings with friends, shopping physically, visiting banks, and making medical visits. With proper internet training, older adults can engage in instant messaging, video chatting, online shopping, which compensates for reduced mobility and social distancing guidelines. Due to ageism older adults are often depicted as incompetent and illiterate in technology use. Computer use can help to increase self-efficacy and lower computer anxiety, in turn enhancing overall life satisfaction. E-Health literacy can be defined as the ability to seek, find, understand, and appraise health information from electronic sources and apply the knowledge gained to addressing or solving a health problem. As the role of access to Internet technology has consequences on improving health and well-being, internet technology training for older adults should be a timely priority. Because the younger generation has learned how to use computers, internet and digital devices at school or at work; intergenerational help can be a source of potential training. The gap between younger and older generation is not only in the actual knowledge of computers, but in the gap in confidence as many older people undervalue their computer knowledge. To address these important topics, the Journal of Elder Policy is issuing a call for papers that address policy challenges and implications related to technology use and older adults. We welcome both empirical and conceptual papers from diverse disciplines and have a preference for pieces that employ policy approaches. Topics may include but are not limited to: Internet use/access Digital exclusion/inclusiveness Interventions using digital platforms Intergenerational learning E-Health Literacy Cultural influences on technology use in later life Digital monitoring of frail older adults Digital data collection Scams/Fraud Authors should send a 500 word abstract related to their paper by August 15 to Managing Assistant Editor, Kaitlyn Langendoerfer, PhD (kxb289 at case.edu) All articles will be peer reviewed.

In conjunction with our institute's new implemented by-laws, each new member to the Affiliates must be voted upon by our existing members before joining. At your earliest convenience, if you could input your results (a simple yes/no, see the poll for more details), no later than Tuesday, July 5th, that would be appreciated. Dr. Kaitlin Lansford is an Associate Professor here at FSU in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders. She also serves as the Director of the Motor Speech Disorders Lab at FSU, where the lab conducts research on dysarthric speech perception. Dr. Lansford's current work focuses perceptual training, which offers a promising avenue for improving intelligibility of people with dysarthria by offsetting the communicative burden from the patient on to their primary communication partners. Diseases resulting in dysarthria (e.g., neurodegenerative disease, stroke) often occur later in life. Thus, the older adult population, namely the aging spouses, friends, and caregivers of individuals with dysarthria, would particularly benefit from familiarization. Thus, ongoing projects in the lab center on examining perceptual training outcomes in individuals, 60 years and older. Her research team, at FSU and Utah State University, has received NIH-funding (see below) to support this work. Further, her team has an R01 proposal under review to extend and expand this research agenda. This work aligns with the goals of the Institute of Successful Longevity. Specifically, this work will establish a new realm of clinical practice in which the intelligibility impairments in individuals with neurological disease are addressed by training (often) aging communication partners to better understand dysarthric speech, enhancing communication and participation for this population. Proposal-Dr. Kaitlin Lansford as a new potential ISL Faculty Affiliate (View/vote in browser) We look forward to seeing the results!
