Halima Amjad, HEADS Center, Julia Burgdorf, HEADS Center, and Mireille Jacobson, CeASES-ADRD, will discuss recent research on health care use and management before and after a dementia diagnosis, and the implications of living arrangements and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement policies. Amanda Sonnega, Coordinating Center Director, will moderate the webinar. Their presentations will be followed by 10-15 minutes of Q&A.
Background: The Demography and Economics of Aging Centers Program, expanded to include Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Related Dementias, has contributed significantly to developing both innovative lines of research and the next generation of scholars in the field. New areas and new directions have emerged (such as population genetics and biomeasure collection within national population-based surveys), largely because of increasing cross-disciplinary collaborations encouraged by the Centers. This successful model represents multiple centers engaged in a range of research and infrastructure activities within thematic research areas. There is wide recognition within the National Institute on Aging and in the field that the full promise of the center mechanism itself and, indeed, the pace of future scientific discovery in aging will depend on scholars continuing to bridge disciplinary divides.
