This collection of SIG 15 articles involves a myriad of contemporary issues related to the
profession. First, Kanade, Strother-Garcia, and Rogers provide a review of literature on
the impact of retirement on mental health and discuss its relevance to the fields of
speech-language pathology and audiology. Next, Kanade, Strother-Garcia, and Parham
discuss gender differences in self-reported oral health–related quality of life among older
men and women at two Midwest senior centers using the Geriatric Oral Health
Assessment Index. Finally, Jones, Jacobs and Ellis explore the relationship between
social networks and poststroke communication outcomes using the Stroke Impact Scale
communication subtest and the Stroke Social Network Scale to report differences among
Black and White stroke survivors.
