Sarah Szanton is the professor for health equity and social justice and director of the Center for Innovative Care in Aging at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. In this episode, Dr. Szanton describes her innovative model, Community Aging in Place—Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE), which combines multifactorial interventions focused on helping people age with dignity and independence at home. Dr. Szanton discusses how we can take public health from an epidemiologic inference to the clinical trial level before reaching an effective policy approach and, finally a cost-effective benefit.  Visit Website: CAPABLE Episode Transcript: Click here
