StatusActive

Initiated by the Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center, the University Seminar on the Future of Aging Research has as its mission to provide an interactive interdisciplinary forum for scientists to engage with one another, to generate new ideas and new methods, and to stimulate new approaches to the science of aging. The format emphasizes dynamic exchanges and dialogue, catalyzed by brief presentations of new work by CU/CUMC researchers. Discussions are sparked by leaders in complimentary areas spanning context, individual, and organismal/biological perspectives.

Investigating Support Networks of Older Women With HIV With Mixed Methods and Community-Based Participatory Research

View Abstract

Speaker/s

Jasmine Manalel, Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging, Hunter College, CUNY

Abstract

Older women living with HIV occupy space at the intersection of multiple identities, which manifest in a range of stigma experiences that ultimately affect their aging. Although social support is widely considered a protective factor, it varies in form, function, and effectiveness. The Care Resources in Older Women’s Networks (CROWN) Study leverages the complexity of social relations to examine the implications of different dimensions of support networks on mental health and health behavior.
