Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on older adults (55+) living at the mid-point of the shelter-care continuum, in seniors housing (SH) and assisted living (AL), remains largely unexplored. This study compares survey responses of SH and AL residents with those of age peers living in private conventional community-based dwellings (CD) in British Columbia, Canada. Despite more SH/AL residents reporting feelings of isolation and changes to social support access, the pandemic appears to have had a greater negative impact on the routines of CD older adults. AL residents were more likely to engage in advance care planning discussions before and since the COVID-19 outbreak. These data are important for improving response to current and future disasters across the shelter-care continuum, particularly in ways to reduce the psychosocial effects of isolation or routine disruption, and strategies to increase advance care planning engagement.

Abstract

Decision-making is an important skill when evaluating possible risks and benefits in one’s everyday life. This skill is substantially impaired among prevalent alcohol and tobacco users due to impulsivity, reward-seeking behaviour and their inability to learn from experience. Past work has examined context-dependent alcohol use (i.e., participants who are intoxicated during the testing phase). However, research on long-term effects of alcohol and tobacco use on decision-making is limited, especially for older adults. Participants ages 56 and above completed two measures of decision making – the Cups task and Sunk-Cost Fallacy task. We hypothesize that higher levels of alcohol and tobacco use will lead to poorer decision-making.
