The specific aim of this research study was to gain knowledge regarding beliefs about aging, in order to develop future, priority, educational, and aging-related opportunities in Kansas. The study included six focus groups with a self-selected sample of Kansans born during the years 1946-1964 (N = 39). Data were analyzed through utilization of open and focused coding processes. The main themes that surfaced included: health is fundamental, communities and families provide assistance, personal experiences shape perceptions, and American society creates expectations.
