GSA Preconference Workshop on Research in Aging Improving the Quality and Credibility of Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research in Aging Organized by Terrie Wetle, PhD; Leslie Curry, PhD, MPH; and Renee Shield, PhD Friday, November 18th 9:00 AM–5:30 PM While the benefits of qualitative and mixed methods are increasingly recognized in biomedical and behavioral research, the full potential of applying such methods in studying aging and health disparities has not been fully realized. Using these methods to better understand the perspectives of special populations, including ethnic and racial minorities and vulnerable elders, remains an urgent need. This full-day, preconference workshop is intended for researchers interested in supplementing their knowledge of and experience with qualitative and mixed methods with current strategies and approaches.
