Spotlight on Gerontology Research in Ohio: Innovations from OAGE Board Members
Ohio continues to be a hub for groundbreaking gerontology research, thanks in part to the work of dedicated scholars like OAGE board members Dr. Shannon Jarrott and Dr. Jessica Krok-Schoen.
Dr. Jarrott’s recent publication, The Intergenerational Program Evaluation Tool: Results of a Delphi Study, offers a validated framework for assessing the impact of programs that bring older and younger generations together, providing valuable insights for practitioners and researchers alike.

Meanwhile, Dr. Krok-Schoen’s collaborative study, Nutrition Needs of Older Cancer Survivors Before & After an Educational Diet & Exercise Intervention, sheds light on the evolving dietary and physical activity needs of aging cancer survivors, emphasizing the importance of tailored health interventions. These contributions exemplify the innovative spirit driving gerontology research in our state and underscore the vital role of OAGE members in advancing the field.
