Promoting Social Connection and Health with Intergenerational Ties

Wednesday, September 27, 2023
12:00 to 1:00 p.m. ET
Register here
Free for everyone

Recent research has shown a light on the high prevalence of social isolation and loneliness, along with its harmful effects on multiple dimensions of health. Intergenerational programs that purposefully and actively engage youth and older adults represent a popular response, but research on their effectiveness is limited. Join this panel as they discuss priority areas for research on this topic. Share in conversation about top research questions and appropriate methods that will create a road map to enhance understanding of how intergenerational programs can reduce rates and impact of social isolation and loneliness.

Presented by:

  • Thomas Cudjoe, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

  • Ernest Gonzales, MSW, PhD, Assistant Professor, New York University
