Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Care, Connection and Equity: Advancing the Science of Caregiving in Aging seeks submissions that explore the evolving landscape of caregiving for older adults. We welcome research, practice and policy-focused papers that highlight the experiences of caregivers, strategies to promote caregiver wellbeing and innovative interventions that foster equitable and culturally responsive care. Contributions that examine relational connections, systemic support and approaches to sustain caregivers across diverse settings are encouraged. We particularly invite work that integrate perspectives from researchers, practitioners, policymakers and caregivers themselves to advance inclusive, evidence-informed and relationship-centered caregiving.
Dr. Kristina Kokorelias
