Abstract

This study surveyed graduating Master of Social Work (MSW) students from social-work programs in 3 Southern states to obtain information about students' attitudes toward aging, gerontological knowledge, and factors predictive of interest in working with older adults. Students' self-rated aging skills, contact frequency with older adults, rewarding interaction with older clients, and a stronger belief that gerontological social work offers good career opportunities were significant predictors of students' interest in aging related work. While only a minority of students had engaged in an aging-related internship, over 60% reported that they would have been likely to do so if a stipend had been included.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
