The subject of how best to address the current and future health
needs of older adult residents in this country's urban marginalized
communities is one that has also received considerable attention in
academic, policy, and practice arenas in the past decade. A variety
of models have been put forth to achieve the goal of health in
these communities but one of the most promising recommendations has
been the use of health promotion as a vehicle for reaching and
empowering communities of color in both rural and urban America.
Older adult-led interventions, as addressed in various sections of
this book, is one of the latest and most promising approaches
towards health promotion that is grass-roots and community
participatory based. Older adult-led health promotion represents an
emerging field with tremendous implications for addressing the
health needs of marginalized urban older adults in the United
States and international.
