Abstract:
This article reports on a workshop in which participants identified sources of data on rural aging. Such sources are typically part of larger data collection efforts or special aging studies with large rural components. Finding and using data on rural aging are not only two different processes but they also face somewhat different obstacles and the solutions are likewise different. The workshop addressed both of these issues. Participants shared many innovative and creative means for collecting, finding and adapting more general data sources, and analyzing and using these data, to further our understanding of rural aging phenomena.
