| The
mission of the Global Ageing Research Network (GARNet)
is to provide leadership in the expansion of global participation
and cooperation in research, education, and information dissemination
that will support older people who are ageing well in the
21st century. GARNet strategic activities include
multi-nation research on adult well-being that will
produce an empirically-based index for ageing well. Phase
one of this research involves a measurement-based study that
is modeling the indicators and determinants of ageing well;
phase one will be completed by December 2004. Phase two will
apply the ageing well index in studies that are focused on
specific policy issues and targets. The goal of GARNet
is to provide scientific evidence to guide policy reviews
and developments that promote ageing well systems, communities,
and personal behaviors. |
