AB  - Background: Previous research has indicated the attitudes that others have toward older adults play an important role in their well-being. The current study contributes to the literature because it evaluates attitudes toward older adults. Methods: The participants included Caucasian and Indigenous people residing in Northern Ontario. All participants were asked to complete a demographics questionnaire and the Kogan’s Attitudes Toward Old People Scale (KAOP). Results: Results indicated that Indigenous participants had more positive attitudes toward older adults than Caucasian participants. Conclusions: The implications of this research would indicate specific strategies must be implemented to ensure older adults are not marginalized but included in family and community events.
