About this Webinar

This webinar will share a collection of recent findings published in “A Life Course Approach to Aging and Opioid Use,” a special issue of Innovation in Aging. The works highlight novel themes, conceptualizations, research questions, and methods in advancing knowledge on the interconnections between aging and opioid use. They also offer actionable solutions to improve personalized care delivery to meet intersecting needs for older adults at risk of, or living with, opioid use disorder.

Moderated by the special issue editors Marcia G. Ory, PhD, MPH, FGSA, Ashley Ritter, PhD, MSHP, APRN, and Sarah Gebauer, MD, MSPH, FAAFP, each presenter will present their work and will be available for questions.
