MCOA is pleased to share an opportunity for Councils on Aging to partner with BetterAge on an important research study focused on improving the wellbeing of older adults.

This study is comparing two different ways of delivering online wellbeing information and support to learn how each approach impacts overall wellbeing, confidence, and healthy behaviors. Researchers will explore outcomes related to loneliness, physical health, mental health, and other aspects of healthy aging.

Why Participate?

Participating Councils on Aging will:

• Receive approximately $500 to support your organization's participation.
• Help advance research that could shape future healthy aging programs and services.
• Offer eligible older adults the opportunity to receive up to $100 in incentives throughout the study.

Who They're Looking For

BetterAge is seeking Councils on Aging that:

• Have strong engagement with their participants and community members.
• Serve older adults who are generally comfortable using computers, tablets, or smartphones.

What's Involved?

Your role is simple: help recruit eligible participants from your community.

BetterAge will provide the recruitment materials, tools, and ongoing support. Your Council's role is to help connect interested older adults with the study.

This is a great opportunity to support innovative research while bringing additional resources and potential incentives to your community.

Interested? 

If your Council would like to learn more about participating, please contact Ingrid Coi (ingrid.coifman@betterage.net) at BetterAge for additional information.

Thank you for helping advance research that supports healthier aging for older adults across our communities.
