Sunha Choi, assistant professor in the College of Social Work, was recently selected as the recipient of the Senior Scholar Award for Research Related to Disadvantaged Older Adults from the Gerontologial Society of America (GSA). The award was based on her paper, “How does satisfaction with medical care differ by citizenship status and where they live?: A county-level multilevel analysis.” The work on this paper was supported by a Silberman grant which she had previously received.
The Senior Scholar acknowledges outstanding applied research that advances knowledge and understanding of the capabilities, contributions, challenges and concerns of disadvantaged older adults, especially those who are low-income and minority group members.
