| Peer-review: an essential, but imperfect, part of the scientific processPeer-review forms the backbone of scientific publication. Intended as a quality control mechanism, the hope is that peer-review will permit only the most rigorously conducted scientific studies to put forth their findings into the public sphere. Sadly, this noble intent is often lost in contemporary academia’s publish-or-perish landscape. In advance of this year’s annual Peer Review Week (September 10-15, 2018), I wanted to highlight some of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the process.Other, AWCRP-2020-03 University of Oxford | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2018-08-30 | | | Nurturing resilience - Interview by Wendy Haaf (published), Good Times MagazineCosco, T.D.

Many researchers find this difficult because they generally write for fellow subject specialists or academics. The Transdisciplinary Working (CC3) team therefore organized two lay-summary co-creation workshops for the AGE-WELL network. These workshops were designed to help researchers co-develop their project lay-summaries with stakeholders; and to develop guidelines for lay-summary co-creation for AGE-WELL researchers. Our poster presents the co-creation protocol and feedback from the researchers and other stakeholders about their experiences with the co-creation process. Following an analysis of the workshops, we developed a set of guidelines that suggest 1) stakeholders need to be informed about the goals and expectations of the co-creation process; and 2) facilitators need to be skilled enough to navigate the negotiation process and subsequently integrate stakeholders’ and researchers’ perspectives into the lay-summary of a project.

Family and friends of older adults are heavily relied upon to supplement formal care services and assist in navigating complex and fragmented health and social systems. Older persons who are isolated and without access to informal support may be at elevated risk for negative health outcomes and care disparities. This population has been identified within gerontological and medical research as elder orphans, a medical ethics term used to alert practitioners to their disadvantaged circumstances and potential need for supportive intervention. Discrepancies exist across perspectives on the utility and acceptability of this terminology. We review the origins of the elder orphan terminology within medical, gerontological, and lay literature to describe the viewpoints for and against this term. Current research investigating both the perspectives of clinicians who encounter this population within care contexts as well as older people meeting orphaned status is drawn upon. We juxtapose these findings with literature highlighting the ramifications of ageist terminology in clinical and lay settings for older adults’ health and quality of care. Inconsistent identifying terminology is underscored as imposing barriers to research advancements in this area, identification of this population in community and clinical settings, and the performance of supportive intervention. We present our support for recently proposed alternative terminology in its capacity to elicit understanding among practitioners of the legal and medical challenges faced by this population.AWCRP-2020-03 Simon Fraser University, University of Oxford | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2022-03-30 | | | Factors contributing to the mental wellbeing of community-dwelling older adults: A qualitative study from the Vancouver West End“Factors contributing to the mental wellbeing of community-dwelling older adults: A qualitative study from the Vancouver West End” Poster presentation at the 51st Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting of the Canadian Association on Gerontology, Regina, Sask., October, 20-22, 2022AWCRP-2020-03 Simon Fraser University, University of Oxford | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2022-12-20 | | | Digital Interventions for Depression and Anxiety in Older Adults: Protocol for a Systematic ReviewDigital Interventions for Depression and Anxiety in Older Adults: Protocol for a Systematic ReviewAWCRP-2020-03 Simon Fraser University, University of Oxford | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2020-12-20 | Indira Riadi, Lucy Kervin, "Kelly Teo ", Ryan Churchill, Theodore Cosco | | Digital interventions for depression and anxiety in older adults: A systematic review of randomized controlled trialsDigital interventions for depression and anxiety in older adults: A systematic review of randomized controlled trialsAWCRP-2020-03 KITE Research Institute at University Health Network, Simon Fraser University, University of Oxford | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2022-03-29 | |
