AFAR, along with seven of our colleague national aging organizations, recently commissioned research about how the public views older adults in this country. The FrameWorks Institute compared what experts say about older adults to what the public perceives to be true. There are profound differences, with deep implications for the way we need to communicate about aging services and policies.
