Article

The American Occupational Therapy Association's Centennial Vision articulates the
strategic goals for the profession to be science driven and evidence based in
major practice areas. In the practice area of productive aging, a previous review
of research published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy (AJOT)
found mostly basic research with far fewer effectiveness studies. The current
review article is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an update on the types
of research published on productive aging in AJOT in the past 2 yr (2009-2010).
Part 2 examines the range and scope of occupational therapy effectiveness
research on productive aging published in a similar time frame in other
occupational therapy journals and outside of the discipline.
