Studies concerned with factors related to perceptions of the elderly have found that educational attainment is the only variable to show a consistently positive relationship with the way people view the aged. The goal of this curriculum model is to develop a training program that incorporates racial/ethnic content relevant to practitioners in health care. For purposes of the study, it is assumed that the majority of students currently enrolled in the health professions are non-minority students, and in addition to holding negative stereotypes of the elderly, they also hold stereotypical views of ethnic/racial minorities. Based on systems theory concepts, the model described in the appendix was developed by the Chicano Training Center (Houston, Texas) and includes three components: curriculum development, training, and development. A 15-item bibliography concludes the document. (NL)
