The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $243,000 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to Mayo Clinic to conduct research on assessing the needs and advancing dignity-conserving care for hospitalized, incarcerated older adults. The 5-year grant project will leverage a unique dataset to define trends in factors like age, delirium, and advance directive completion for this population. It will also use qualitative methods to characterize the hospitalization experience from multiple perspectives, including patients, families, correctional officers, and nurses. Additionally, the project will evaluate the prevalence and contents of state and federal policies pertinent to hospital care for older incarcerated adults. This research aims to address key knowledge gaps and improve healthcare delivery for this vulnerable population.
