Recommendation 3: Psychologists are encouraged to take into consideration both the individual aspects of diversity and the intersection of cultural identity within the aging population. It is essential that psychologists be knowledgeable about the ways in which people’s position in terms of gender, race and ethnicity, country of origin, religion, disability, age gender, sexual orientation, and social class affect (a) their exposure to risk factors associated with physical and mental health; (b) their health status; and (c) the quantity and quality of health care resources available to them.
