Thoughts for Thursday

Part 3: Talkin’ ’bout My Generation


 

References

The Baby Boomers are by far the most sexually liberal generation of older adults that this country has ever seen. Providing health care to this population requires addressing all health care needs, including sexual health and prevention. Next week, we’ll examine ways clinicians can comfortably broach these topics with older patients.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear your thoughts: Is this the Second Spring of the Summer of Love generation? Whether you’re a Boomer or a Millennial or anyone in between, feel free to write to me at PAeditor@mdedge.com.
