The People Say: A New Older Adult and Caregiver Policy and Research Tool

The People Say, an online research hub funded by The SCAN Foundation and developed by researchers and designers at the Public Policy Lab, features first-hand insights from older adults and caregivers on the issues most important to them, as well as feedback from experts on policies affecting older adults. The project particularly focuses on the experiences of communities often under-consulted in policymaking, including older adults of color, those who are low income, and/or those who live in rural areas where healthcare isn’t easily accessible. The overarching goal of this hub is to elevate the voices of our most-affected communities in the hopes that policies and systems may be shaped to better serve them.
