人口老龄化预示着资源和价值危机。理想的解决办法可以包括代际战略，利用老年人尚未开发的潜力，满足社会需求，改善老年人的健康状况。尽管许多老年人希望保持社会参与和生产力，但创造生产性角色的工作一直滞后。本报告介绍了一种新的老年人健康促进模式的概念框架和主要设计特点，称为体验团（R）。体验团在多个层面运作，并带来好处，包括个人，学校和更大的社区。在个人层面上，我们提出了一个模型的基础上埃里克森的概念的生成解释弓和为什么经验军团的作品。在学校层面，我们提出了一个基于社会资本的平行模型。体验团是一个志愿服务方案，旨在改善城市儿童的生活，并改善老年人的健康。这说明人口老龄化为解决社会难题创造了新的机会.本文探讨了如何在多个层次的概念的联系，激励一个潜在的成本效益，可行的，和高影响力的计划。
Population aging portends a crisis of resources and values. Desired solutions could include intergenerational strategies to harness the untapped potential of older adults to address societal needs and to generate health improvements for older adults. Despite the desire of many older adults to remain socially engaged and productive, the creation of productive roles has lagged. This report describes the conceptual framework and major design features of a new model of health promotion for older adults called Experience Corps(R). Experience Corps operates at, and leads to benefits, across multiple levels, including individuals, schools, and the larger community. At the individual level, we propose a model based on Erikson's concept of generativity to explain bow and why Experience Corps works. At the level of schools, we propose a parallel model based on social capital. Experience Corps is a volunteer service program designed to improve the lives of urban children and to yield health improvement for older persons. It illustrates bow population aging creates new opportunities to address difficult social problems. This article explores how the linkage of concepts at multiple levels motivates a potentially cost-effective, feasible, and high-impact program.
