Happy to share our vignette study protocol to explore #physician gender bias in the initiation of prescribing cascades for older men & women ♂️♀️

This made us think more deeply about implicit biases with #sex & #gender, especially with medication use 💊

Happy to see one of our recently published #WomensAgeLab research papers on loneliness in older immigrants, led by former student Mindy Lu, was highlighted in a Toronto Star article:

While older #immigrants had many shared correlates of #loneliness as Canadian-born older adults, we found that community-level factors (⬇️ ethnic diversity and income) were more strongly associated with loneliness in immigrants.

New research from another ⭐️ student, Mindy Lu, looking at correlates of #loneliness in older #immigrants:
