- Title
Ageism as a Source of Global Mental Health Inequity.
- Authors
Teaster, Pamela B.; Giwa, Al O.
- Abstract
Ageism manifests as stereotyping of or discrimination against people--usually older adults--because of their age. Since ageism contributes to global mental health inequity among older people, responding to their needs should be a clinical, ethical, and policy priority. This article suggests how relatively simple, low-cost, high-yield interventions can be implemented globally and domestically to improve the well-being and quality of life of older individuals.
