Jarmin Yeh, PhD ’20, MPH, MSSW, Assistant Professor
A former gymnast who became a researcher and assistant professor, Jarmin Yeh has been examining age-friendly community initiatives and the lived experiences of older adults to help improve their quality of life. She currently partners with the California Department of Public Health to implement a training for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) caregivers of older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. As part of the project, she is evaluating how effective this training is on increasing caregivers’ knowledge, reducing their stress, and decreasing how often people living with dementia turn to the emergency room or another high-cost health care intervention.
