WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

Abstract

International discussants Terry Lum, social worker and health services researcher, Bruno Vellas, internist, geriatrician and clinical trial expert, and Desmond O’Neill, geriatrician, humanist and ethicist, will discuss the findings and their implications for future gerontological research, and cross-national as well as cross-disciplinary gerontological research. Along with other presenters, they will serve as ­panelists for an audience discussion about what kind of common ­understanding of evidence is necessary or desirable for cross-disciplinary and cross-national gerontological research.
