AHRQ Seeks Input on the Impacts of Ageism on Health Care

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is seeking information from the public — especially social scientists –  to understand the impacts of ageism on healthcare quality, including aspects related to safety, timeliness, patient-centeredness, equitable distribution, and care outcomes. How does the effect of ageism differ across different population groups? They are interested in identifying efforts and innovative strategies and programs that address and mitigate ageism to optimize older adults’ health.

Comments must be submitted on or before March 15, 2025. AHRQ will not respond individually to responders but will consider all comments submitted by the deadline.
