Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the impacts of COVID-19 public messaging on the internalized ageism that older people might be experiencing. The three main research objectives involved the exploration of: 1. How older people interpreted COVID-19 public messaging and discussion, particularly as it related to older age 2. Whether older people felt more vulnerable at the time of the study versus prior to the pandemic and to determine what role COVID-19 public messaging and discussion may have played in such feelings 3. Whether COVID-19 messaging and discussion may have influenced the social and/or health behaviours of older people during the pandemic
