Understanding the Barriers to and Facilitators of Anxiety Management in Residents of Long-Term Care
This study aimed to understand care providers' perspectives on the barriers to and facilitators of managing anxiety in residents of LTC.

Key barriers to anxiety care at each level were resident cognitive impairment or co-morbidities; la...

The 'Double Risk' of Aging: Examining Vulnerability and (Un)supportive Built Environments in Canadian Cities
Can J Aging. 2023 Sep 4:1-15. doi: 10.1017/S0714980823000429. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe confluence of rapid population aging and the overwhelming desire of older adults to age in place begs the question: Do our cities support the health and well-being of aging populations? Using a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood approach, this macro-scale investigation explores the "double risk" that many older adults live with - the potential of being disadvantaged by socio-demographic risk factors (being older, living alone, low income) and by living in an unsupportive built environment. It is an integration of what we know about ...
