Abstract:
A Nevada Geriatric Education Center (NGEC) study examined the relationship between gerontology content in the curriculum at two southern Nevada academic institutions and the usefulness of that content to community allied health providers. Course content for 20 gerontology topics was compared with community respondents' perceptions of topic usefulness. Rank-ordered topic content and usefulness means were associated positively for the total sample, nonwhites, social workers, managers and supervisors and nurses for all the courses with gerontology content, as well as for social workers and social work courses. They were not associated for nurses and nursing courses, however. Study results were disseminated to NGEC staff and board members, gerontology faculty and community agency administrators.
