  • Title: Implementing a gero-infused curriculum in advanced-level MSW courses in health, mental health and substance abuse: an evaluation.
    Author: Fenster J, Zodikoff BD, Rozario PA, Joyce P.
    Journal: J Gerontol Soc Work; 2010 Oct; 53(7):641-53. PubMed ID: 20865625.
    Abstract:
    This article presents evaluation results from a curricular innovation aimed at increasing the capacity of social work graduates to serve older adults in health, mental health, and substance abuse settings. Working as a team, faculty developed, incorporated, and evaluated gerontology-infused syllabi and teaching modules in multiple sections of the 3 courses, with 2 sections serving as a comparison group. Results indicated that students exposed to the gero-infused curriculum increased their age-related knowledge and self-competence from pre- to posttest, and achieved a greater increase in knowledge than did the comparison group. Implications of the findings to social work education are discussed.
