This study will illustrate how place is created for older adults through connections among aging, environment, and occupation. I will use a narrative approach to examine how community-based organizational leaders relate stories of anticipated meaningful relationships among aging, environment, and occupation in a community-based Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness.

Overall, I will assess the connections between community-based organizational leaders' related stories of how aging, environment, and occupation would be situated and older adults' narrated accounts of their occupational engagement among the Center's environmental contexts.

Liver injury due to prescription and non-prescription medication is medical, scientific, and public health problem of increasing frequency and importance in United States. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most common reason the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would choose not to approve a new drug or withdraw a drug from the market. However, drug-induced liver injuries are often under-reported and difficult to detect/diagnose. This study seeks to learn more about these drug-induced liver injuries and develop better ways to detect, define, and study drug-induced liver injuries. The study will be looking at new cases of drug-induced liver injury, as well as gathering data on previous drug-induced liver injury (up to January 1, 1994).
