Description

A growing body of research points to the influence of the broader environment upon the health
and health behaviors of older adults, but activity to promote environmental and policy change to
support healthy aging is limited. This conference will serve as a catalyst for increased activity in
environmental and policy change by stimulating discussion and equipping attendees with the
background and tools to facilitate their work. It will feature the challenges amenable to
environmental and policy change; the evidence that supports specific approaches and their
outcomes; and promising strategies for practice.
