Public Education
AFAR seeks to educate the public on topics related to aging by sponsoring media briefings, community health lectures, Web-based public education materials, and a consumer newsletter Lifelong. In addition, AFAR has established two Web sites for the general public:
- Infoaging.org, which provides consumers with health information and the latest news about aging research and diseases associated with aging research; and
- Healthcompass.org, designed to help seniors navigate the Internet to find the best sources of health information.
