Hypothesis
There is a lack of scholarly literature utilizing the National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants (NSOAAP) data.
Conclusion
The review found that there are very few empirical studies using NSOAAP data, indicating a need for more research in this area.
Supporting Evidence
- The NSOAAP has been collected annually since 2003.
- The review identified 40 articles for initial review after resolving duplicates.
- Only 10 peer-reviewed empirical studies were ultimately included in the review.
Takeaway
This study looked at research about older adults who use certain services, and found that not enough studies have been done.
Methodology
A scoping review of peer-reviewed empirical articles using NSOAAP data was conducted, resulting in 10 studies being analyzed.
Limitations
The review is limited by the small number of studies identified and the exclusion of many articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria.
