The Stanford Social Innovation Review has published an article, "Advocating for Age in an Age of Uncertainty."

"Today, the COVID-19 pandemic is pushing Americans’ cultural bias against older people to new heights."

The article discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has increased ageism and provides actionable steps, based on research on how people think about aging, older people, and elder abuse from the FrameWorks Institute, that can be taken to combat it. "Doing so will help policy makers, journalists, and the public recognize that older people—like all people—can bring value to communities everywhere and deserve to be included."
