The Duke Roybal Center aims to advance behavioral intervention development and implementation to optimize mobility for older adults. Integral to behavioral and social science research are intentional efforts to acknowledge the intersectionality of age with all dimensions of diversity, including but not limited to: sex, race, ethnicity, gender identity, and expression, sexual orientation, disability, health, socioeconomic status, and social class. As a Center, we commit to actively engage underrepresented investigators, study teams, community stakeholders, and study participants to understand these nuances and address health disparities among older adults.
