:This text is a compilation of papers from keynote speakers, invited presenters, and other attendees of CONNECTIONS '88: First International Symposium - Research and Public Policy on Aging and Health. The book is organized into five parts: Health Needs, Programs, and Policies; Money, Politics, and Public and Private Choices; Performing Effective Gerontological Research; Applying Gerontological Research Effectively; and Cementing Research and Policy Connections. It conveys the range and depth of ideas and findings that characterize gerontology in the late 1980s. Themes discussed in the text include current epidemiological, social, attitudinal, and program trends in aging and health; aging in the future; expectations and the economic feasibility of health systems for the elderly; and ethics. All chapters deal with gerontological research. This book will interest gerentology researchers and people interested in the links between gerontological research and public policy.
