Outline of Annual Research Achievements

For 2022-2023, sharing of research findings to older adults at the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs in Tacloban was conducted. It was a successful event with older people being engaged in the seminar/workshop. One online oral presentation and another in-person presentation were delivered. One in-person poster presentation was also given. Three academic meetings were attended to enhance principal investigator's knowledge and skills as well as learn current and upcoming research trends. Also, these meetings provided opportunities to network for possible collaboration with other academics and scholars from other fields and universities in Japan and abroad. A 2nd paper was published in 2022. A 3rd paper for journal publication is forthcoming.
