DESCRIPTION:Register Now!\n\nWe are pleased to announce the upcoming CAnD3 
 Keynote Address\, the culminating event of our 2025-2026 Training Program.
  This hybrid event\, hosted annually at the ɬÀï·¬ Faculty Club\, featurin
 g Professor Deborah Carr from Boston University\, and guest Dragon's Den j
 udge André Picard\, will bring together Dragon's Den finalists\, CAnD3 alu
 mni\, institutional partners\, and current Fellows. It commemorates the ac
 hievements of our six consecutive cohorts (2020-2026).\n\nProfessor Carr's
  presentation\, Older Adults' Complex Family Lives in the 21st Century: Im
 plications for End-of-Life Preparations and Well-Being\, draws on her ongo
 ing research into how family structure shapes the experience of dying in l
 ater life. Advances in medical technologies mean that older adults are liv
 ing longer than ever before\, with most dying of chronic diseases that hav
 e protracted symptoms and require difficult decisions about end-of-life ca
 re. Most older adults rely on their families for advance care planning\, a
 dvocacy\, and decision-making — raising concerns about the rising numbers 
 of adults growing old without a spouse or children. Her presentation exami
 nes how: (1) marital trajectories and parental statuses affect advance car
 e planning\, a critical step for attaining a 'good death\,' and (2) marita
 l status affects ten end-of-life quality outcomes as assessed by the deced
 ent's proxy. Analyses are based on the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) a
 nd National Health and Aging Trends (NHATS) surveys. Implications for poli
 cy\, practice\, and future research will be discussed.\n\n\nItinerary \n\n
