With an aging baby-boomer population, the City of Brooklyn Park is looking for ways to encourage residents over the age of 50 to become more engaged with City government and volunteer opportunities. The goal of this project was to develop a sustainable, formal volunteer program and to determine barriers to seniors becoming more involved. City of Brooklyn Park project lead Pat Busch worked with a team of students in Dr. Kathy Quick’s PA 5145 course to develop three flowcharts outlining processes for the city to better engage older residents in volunteer opportunities. The students' final report, which includes the flowcharts, is available.Item Courses in the Field of Aging: AUCA Bulletin 1979-80.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota., 1979) AUCAItem Courses in the Field of Aging: AUCA Bulletin 1981-82.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota., 1981) AUCAItem Courses in the Field of Aging: AUCA Bulletin 1982-84.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota., 1982) AUCAItem Courses in the Field on Aging: AUCA Bulletin 1980-81.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota., 1980) AUCAItem Effect of Creatine Supplementation on Muscle in the Elderly(2010-11-02) Murray, SaraSarcopenia, or muscle loss due to aging, is a serious health concern made worse by poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. Although the compound creatine has been used to increase muscle power in young adults, the studies in elderly patients have failed to consistently prove an increase in muscle mass or strength. The safety of creatine should be compared to the possible benefit on a case-by-case basis.Item Elder Network Mental Health and Aging Study.(2001) Smith, JeddItem Examination of Beltrami Youth and Senior Activities.(1998) Wolfgram, Rebecca and Joy ParizekItem Financing Long Term Care: Dilemmas and Decisions Facing the Elderly, Family Members, and Society.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota, 1996) Stum, Marlene; Brouwer, EstelleItem Food Affordability, Preference, and Insecurity among Socially Disadvantaged Populations(2018-07) Tang, XuyangThe phrase “social determinants of health” refers to individuals’ socioeconomic and environmental situations that are shaped by societal distribution of wealth, power, and resources. Food access, which includes both having the options to choose healthy foods and having sufficient food so as to alleviate hunger, is a social determinant of health that disproportionally affects vulnerable populations facing health disparity. This dissertation closely follows the food-related themes of social determinants of health by grounding its general overarching topic in healthy food options and hunger. First, this dissertation assesses the effect of financial incentives and nutrition education on low-income individuals’ purchase of fruits and vegetables in a field setting. This portion of the dissertation uses information collected from participants’ scanned discount card and grocery receipts to examine whether healthy eating education (a grocery store tour and/or a cooking class) affects low-income individuals’ weekly purchase of fresh produce, given a level of a weekly voucher usable on fresh fruits and vegetables only. Second, this dissertation examines the effect of a hypothetical incentive for fruits and vegetables and personally salient nutrition education on low-education individuals’ attitudinal and intention measures to purchase fruits and vegetables. This objective uses an internet experiment to investigate lower-education individuals’ intention to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables given a message containing the following elements: a weekly voucher to purchase fruits and vegetables, a short description about MyPlate dietary guideline developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a short description that compares individuals’ self-reported fruits and vegetables consumption to MyPlate dietary recommendations. Third, this dissertation explores the relationships among physical limitations, chronic illness, and food insecurity among the elderly to better inform health policies that aim to reduce health care cost and utilization among seniors.Item Gauging Program Services: Present and Future Payne-Phalen Living At Home/Block Nurse Program(2008) Johansen, LindseyItem Housing Options for Low-Income Elderly.(Study conducted as part of the High Rise Nursing Project of the School of Nursing.
