Social gerontologists work with individuals in the twilights of their lives as well as those that surround them. Their main objective is to increase the quality of living for older adults and help others understand them. Social Gerontology is a subfield of gerontology that focuses on the social aspect of growing old. Professionals in this field strive to improve the interactions between older adults and the rest of the world, including family members, peers, and healthcare professionals. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Social gerontologists will often work as advocates for older adults. This may involve educating them on their options for healthcare and other areas. Senior advocates might help older adults locate community and health services, or fill out and understand difficult paperwork; this can include filling out paperwork for health insurance, life insurance, and wills. Social gerontologists might also be called upon to help improve or establish communication between older adults and their healthcare providers, such as doctors and nurses. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports.
