In “Coupling Hearing Health With Community-Based Group Therapy for Cognitive Health
in Low-Income African American Elders,” Postman et al. describe a community-based
group intervention to address disparities experienced by African American elders in the
early stages of cognitive–communicative decline. The intervention included partnerships
with community health centers, culturally informed activities, and ongoing input from staff
and participants. The authors describe the advantages of this community-engaged
approach, as well as the benefits of joining hearing and cognition for minimizing access
barriers. In “Public Health Frameworks in Audiology Education: Rationale and Model for
Implementation,” Warren and Levy review how public health education can advance the
field of audiology, particularly through coursework and dual degree programs. The
authors also describe two frameworks for public health training in an audiology academic
setting and identify the competencies that overlap in audiology and public health, helping
to illustrate the relevance of public health education in addressing objectives in hearing
health care.
