The array of topics covered is amazing, making this book a valuable, significant resource for many disciplines...This multidisciplinary review of the literature on minority aging presents the scholarship related to public health and 'social, behavioral, and biological concerns' of aged minorities like no other publication. Graduate students will certainly be well-served by this book, as would faculty teaching aging at both undergraduate and graduate levels...Highly recommended."--Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries Öwhile practitioners of gerontology, family medicine, and any professional involved in the care of the elderly will find some practical guidance in the second part of the book, it will really earn a place on the bookshelf of anyone and everyone with an interest in US sociology and the development of public policy for the elderly.

It is the only book to focus on paramount public health issues as they relate to older minority Americans, and addresses social, behavioral, and biological concerns for this population. The text distills the most important advances in the science of minority aging and incorporates the evidence of scholars in gerontology, anthropology, psychology, public health, sociology, social work, biology, medicine, and nursing. Additionally, the book incorporates the work of both established and emerging scholars to provide the broadest possible knowledge base on the needs of and concerns for this rapidly growing population. Chapters focus on subject areas that are recognized as being critical in understanding the well being of minority elders. These include sociology (Medicare, SES, work and retirement, social networks, context/neighborhood, ethnography, gender, demographics), psychology (cognition, stress, mental health, personality, sexuality, religion, neuroscience, discrimination), medicine/nursing/public health (mortality and morbidity, disability, health disparities, long-term care, genetics, dietary issues, health interventions, physical functioning), social work (caregiving, housing, social services, end-of-life care), and many other topics. The book focuses on the needs of four major ethnic groups: Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, African American, and Native American.

Today, nearly one of every eight Americans is 65 or older, and by 2030, over 20% of the population will be in this age group. Are you prepared to work with this vastly diverse—and rapidly growing—population? This single source is designed to help social service professionals provide effective services to America’s vastly diverse and rapidly growing elderly population. Diversity and Aging in the Social Environment explores the impact of race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and geographic location on elders’ strengths, challenges, needs, and resources to provide you with a more complete understanding of the issues elders face. In order to be more responsive to older adults, social workers and other human service professionals need to enhance their knowledge of the aging population and the factors that impact the way seniors interact with society, organizations, community resources, neighborhoods, support networks, kinship groups, family, and friends. Diversity and Aging in the Social Environment examines differences in race, ethnicity, geographical location, sexual orientation, religion, and health status to help current and future human service professionals provide culturally competent services to the diverse range of elderly people they serve. In addition, it addresses the wide disparity that exists for older Americans in terms of income and assets, number of chronic conditions, functional and cognitive impairment, housing arrangements, and access to health care. This book provides a context for the examination of diversity issues among older adults by describing and discussing several theoretical perspectives on aging that highlight important aspects of diversity. Next, you’ll find thoughtful examinations of: issues and challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender elders—and the strengths they bring into later life the impact of gender, race, and sexual orientation on prevalence rates, risk factors, methods of disease contraction, and mortality rates among older adults with HIV/AIDS—along with a discussion of the psychosocial issues they face diverse characteristics of custodial grandparents—and the influence of the caregivers’ gender, race, age, and geographic location on methods of care and available caregiver support differences in caregiver characteristics, service utilization, caregiver strain, and coping mechanisms among several racial/ethnic groups of adults who care for elderly, disabled, and ill persons cultural/religious factors that influence interactions between health care personnel and Japanese-American elders the relationship between acculturation and depressive symptoms among Mexican-American couples life challenges facing Jewish and African-American elders—with a look at each group’s coping mechanisms differences in religious/spiritual coping skills among Native American, African-American, and white elders psychological well-being and religiosity among a diverse group of rural elders

"Background: Health and social services can help family caregivers of older adults with chronic conditions manage their caregiving demands. Yet the growing number of racially and ethnically diverse caregivers are less likely to use and experience benefits from such services than caregivers from non-minority groups. While individual and cultural factors, such as preferences for informal support, have most typically been used to explain this trend among racial and ethnic caregivers, previous research has overlooked environmental issues (e.g. discrimination and cultural incompatibility in health and social services) in terms of service access. Aim: The overall aim of this doctoral dissertation is to quantitatively examine how population characteristics and environmental factors impact minority family caregivers’ access to health and social services when supporting older adults. Specifically, this dissertation has three main interrelated research questions: (1) are specific population characteristics and cultural incompatibility associated with unmet needs among minority family caregivers?, (2) does cultural incompatibility in the health and social system affect minority family caregivers of older adults’ overall satisfaction with health and social services?, and (3) does perceived daily discrimination impact health and social service use among minority family caregivers?Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data using a combination of validated and developed measures. Environmental factors, such as daily discrimination and cultural incompatibly, were measured using validated scales such as the Everyday Discrimination Scale and the Cultural Incompatibility subscale of the Service Barriers scale. Service access factors such as service use, unmet needs, and service satisfaction were measured using survey items developed for this dissertation. Racially and ethnically diverse family caregivers supporting an older person (age 65 or above) were invited to participate. Using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, racially and ethnically diverse family caregivers, supporting an older person 65+ were recruited from a variety of health and social service agencies, community agencies, and religious organizations located in Montreal, Quebec. Recruitment was multifaceted and included on-site recruitment by the researcher, invitation by service providers and self-selection via newsletters and flyers. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to address the study questions. All data was managed using SPSS version 24. Results: One hundred and two racial and ethnic minority family caregivers of older adults completed surveys. Key findings revealed that (1) protective factors for minority family caregivers’ unmet service needs included strong connections to religious communities, cultural compatibility, and experience with using ethnic-specific services, (2) caregivers encounters with cultural incompatibility were significantly associated with decreases in their satisfaction with health and social services and heightened risk for unmet service needs, and (3) caregivers with histories of daily discrimination utilized services similarly to those who did not display such histories.Conclusion: Minority family caregivers have experiences of cultural incompatibility in health and social services that can impact their satisfaction with services and hinder their capacities to have their needs met. It appears that daily discrimination may not significantly impact service use although further research is needed in this area. While strong connections with community groups and use of ethnic specific services can improve access for minority caregivers, it is incumbent upon service providers within the general health and social service networks to ensure services are responsive and sensitive to the needs of ethnically and racially diverse caregivers"--

"A welcome addition to the literature in this important area of work, that builds on...the empirical studies which have illuminated our understanding of the requirements of effective service provision. The final section...is, in a real sense, a call for action, for all of us in the field and for public officials and 'opinion makers' to respond to the need for 'Social Care' now and in the new millenium."--from the foreword by Rose Dobrof, DSW, Brookdale Professor of Gerontology, Hunter College, and James R. Dumpson, PhD, Chairman of Policy Center for Aging, New York Community Trust Based on two groundbreaking studies of older people in an urban setting, this important book focuses on access to social services for different ethnicities. Cantor and Brennan review different models and provide the theoretical base for the book in Part I. They describe ways in which the complementary roles of informal and formal systems change as a function of the health status of older people. In Part II, they illustrate the ways in which ethnicity, class, and culture affect the roles of the formal and informal systems by focusing on specific case studies of African American, Latino, and Jewish elderly.

Should benefits for older people be based on age or need? Do programmes that serve only older people people deflect resources that should go to other people? Some of the contributors to this volume argue that social service programmes should be based on need, rather than defined groups of people. Apart from anything else, age-based programmes confirm negative stereotypes of older people, and lump them into an undifferentiated group. But would the reform of social services along these lines jeopardize the recent progress made in the condition of older people? New thoughts and new information are provided in support of both arguments. 'Here is a ringside seat at a critical juncture in the social reconstruction of old age' --
